“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.”
—Psalms 119:114
The protection we have from God is more powerful, more thorough, more complete than we could ever imagine. The war we are in, the darts that are thrown at us: more ruthless, more cunning, more dangerous than we even realize.
Perhaps we think it’d be safer if we were altogether removed from the battle, but in His wisdom, the Lord has instead prayed for us to stay, and be protected within it.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one (John 17:15).
The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3).
Stand therefore…taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one (Ephesians 6:14, 16).
