"For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." Psalm 5:12
As I sat by the window in the living room yesterday morning and read this scripture, I began to ponder on the blessings and favor of God. We are blessed people to have a God that loves us, to have a God that provides for us, to have a God that wants to have a relationship with us. David said that the Lord surrounds the righteous with favor like a shield. Do you realize that God puts up a shield around us and protects us in times of battle and in times of struggle. I'm thankful that God gives favor to my children, not to make them popular or to cause people to like them, but to protect them, lead them, give them a relationship that only they can have with Him. I love my daughter and son and it's my job as a parent to pray for them to have the favor of God in their life and when the enemy tries to come against them I believe in this scripture, they will have favor as with a shield! Let's all today do away with our own self-righteousness and turn to God's righteousness and let him surround us and our families with his favor! Be blessed today!
In this time we are living in sshields we do need,spiritual shields held high to guard off the attacks of the enemy,especially when you are bombarding heaven for a real,real move of God.Not a warmed over,left over one from days gone bye ,but a fresh one like fresh bread from the Master's bakery shelf,you had better have your shield up and warriors around you with shields of faith in the natural who know how to battle and pray for you,it's not the no. it's the faith in the one's you do have.
