God of Protection

The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever - Psalm 121:7–8.         

             God protects all those who are faithful to Him, fear Him and all those who are righteous as a shield and refuge. Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them - Psalm 97:10. The angel of the LORD surrounds those who fear him, and he delivers them - Psalm 34:7. For surely, O LORD, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield - Psalm 5:12.     

As a shield

               He is a shield to all who trust in Him - Psalm 18:30. But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield - Psalm 5:11-12. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him - Psalm 28:7. 

As a refuge

                 God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1. For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat - Isaiah 25:4. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge - Psalm 91:3.4. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by - Psalm 57:1.

            Let us thank our God of protection for protecting us as a shield and refuge. God protects all those who are faithful to Him, fear him and all those who are righteous as a shield and refuge.  You have surrounded me on every side, behind me and before me, and You have placed Your hand gently on my shoulder - Psalm 135:7. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings - Psalm 17:8.                                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the God of Protection. We thank You for protecting us from all evil as a shield and refuge. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
