God's way is perfect. All the LORD's
promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection. 2
Samuel 22:31
God's way is perfect. All the LORD's
promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection. Psalm
18:30
When I read the same thing in two or more
places in the Bible, God gets my attention. It tells me that this is important
to God—and it should be important to me. In these passages He wants us to know
that His promises are true. There are a couple of other passages that echo another
portion of this passage.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the
honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. Proverbs 2:7 Every word of God proves true. He is a
shield to all who come to him for protection. Proverbs 30:5 God is my shield, saving those whose
hearts are true and right. Psalm 7:10.
Our shield—our protector. This same word,
shield, is in the NASB translation of yesterday’s verse. After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision,
saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward
shall be very great." Genesis 15:1 NASB. God is promising to protect
Abraham…and us, as we walk with Him…as we look to Him for protection.

your protector, your shield.

You first in my life. You are my shield.
