My Shield is God Most High! by James Smith, 1859

Please help us share God's truths and hope in Christ.

The privileges of the godly are many and great, but this is a special one:
“My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart!” Psalm 7:10

This implies exposure to foes–Satan, evil men, and death; against these we need defense. It implies opposition–and the opposition of our foes is great, daring, and deadly. It implies danger to be apprehended–because we are weak, timid, and unskillful; and our foes are strong, daring, and experienced.

Our safety therefore, stands in what the Lord is to us. He is our shield, and such a shield as no one besides has, or can have.

The Lord is:

Omniscient to see all our foes and dangers, omnipresent to help us at all times, and against all opposers, and omnipotent to defend us, and secure us from all evil. He is faithful to fulfill His word, and carry out His engagements.

The Lord will:

Come between the believer and danger, Preserve the trusting soul from all real injury, and protect the upright in heart everywhere, and at all times.

What a mercy! What an unspeakable privilege is this!

“You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.” Psalm 115:11

O for grace to trust the Lord with all, to trust the Lord for all, and to trust the Lord under all!

Holy Spirit, strip us of all confidence in the flesh, of all reliance on man, and of all trust in circumstances;
and bring us by Your divine and holy teaching, to trust in the Lord alone!

“He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge!” Psalm 144:2

Words of Wisdom from the Cloud of Witnesses: "Cloud of Witnesses" refers to those in Heaven who have run their races and are now with the Lord. Their words of wisdom are filled with faith, hope, love, and joy that warm our souls. Their words present the eternal truths of God that grow us and give us joy. And their words strengthen our souls, equip our minds, encourage our hearts, and empower us to stand firm in our faith and be motivated, ready, and willing to share the hope we have in Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:1-2)
