My Shield No Matter What

“My God is my protection and with Him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; He defends me and keeps me safe.” (Ps. 18:2)

When you think of God as your protector what comes to mind? Danger, sickness, coronavirus, harsh work environments, violence? Many things encompass what He shields you from. 

You are hard pressed to not notice the division of our current political climate. Friends write an innocent comment in support of a president they feel God is using and poof get slammed on their own social media turf  for a kindness they wrote. Hate is flowing like an untamed broken dam. You are not to ever engage a dear friend or family member but hate is not from the mouths of those who are supposed to be loving others. You simply pray. Satan has caused division and he is doing his happy dance as he watches the deception he has instituted permeate out great land. 

This is spiritual warfare my friend. The enemy has divided us by party loyalty and Satan has blinded to the point of people can’t think clearly. God has a plan and He uses certain unlikely people to work His plan. If you are a believer your job is to pray not hate and that goes for the other side trashing socialist and communist too. Pray for them as they are lost souls. Everything you say and do should be for God’s glory, period. Now go have a blessed day sharing His love. 

PRAYER: Your goodness to mankind is unspeakable. You are marvelous God and help me as I daily walk to watch out for traps the enemy lays in my path. I pray for friends and family who have bought into the lies of the enemy to be set free from his grip and to have a Holy Spirit encounter. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
