God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 18:35-36 "You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.  You enlarge my path under me, so my feet did not slip."

Here in verse 35, we see the use of battle armor, a shield.  Kings and rulers are described as "shields" protecting their people.  Here we see the shield, as an image of God's provision for the RIGHTEOUS.  This image is found in both the Old and New Testament:

Genesis 15:1, we see that God describes Himself as Abraham's "shield," and in 2nd Samuel 22:3, David PRAISES the Lord for being his "SHIELD, "STRONGHOLD" and "REFUGE."  In Ephesians 6:16, Paul says, "above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."

So my friends, we see God is our SHIELD and that we as believers have the PROTECTIVE GUARDIANSHIP of God. 

In verse 36, we see that God also will ENLARGE our PATH, so that we DO NOT SLIP.  Isn't it great to know that our ALL KNOWING, and ALL LOVING God is there to HELP us so that we as believers DO NOT SLIP, and if we do, He is there to CATCH us. "Wow"

It is GOOD to PRAISE the Lord
It is GOOD to GAZE upon His MAJESTY
To PROCLAIM His LOVE in the MORNING
And His FAITHFULNESS at NIGHT
Oh, it is GOOD to WORSHIP and PRAISE the Lord

Jesus Reigns, and He is, Has Been, and ALWAYS Will Be in Complete and Total Control!!! May God's Peace, Love, Strength, and Grace be you all.  May we as Christians reach to heaven with one hand and with the other reach out to the lost and dying of this dark and sinful world.  May we like John at the close of the Book of Revelation say, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come." 

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
