Spiritual Vitamin: "For you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." Psalm 5:12
Challenge: The Lord will bless the righteous. That is, the the righteous may or may not be financially prosperous, but can be spiritually prosperous. We know that a godly life is not always easy or free from pain. But as we trust in God, we can rest in Him and experience His joy and peace. The word "shield" in this verse does not mean an actual shield. the word refers to a standing shield, a massive barrier, like a door, which covered a soldier's entire body. (www.bibleref.com)God protects us and keeps believers safe at all times. Will you trust Him for your concerns today?
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for this one tiny verse that speaks so much of your kindness and love to your children. You bless the righteous. You surround us with your favor as with a shield. Lord, thank you for this picture of a standing shield, literally covering a soldier's entire body. You are quite a shield! I'm so grateful for your promises and I trust You today to be my shield. Amen.
