God is Our Shield - Psalm 3:3-4 Meditation

Join us for a short, but powerful meditation on how God is our shield. A shield protects us from things that might hurt us, and God protects us from things that might hurt us too.

Does a shield work if we hold it far away? Nope. It needs to be close to us.

We need God to be close to us to protect us. We can be close to God by reading His Bible and talking to Him in prayer.

Imagine that you are carrying a shield, but it is God.

And He’s protecting you while you keep Him close to you.

Verses:

But you are my shield, and you give me victory and great honor. I pray to you, and you answer from your sacred hill.

Psalm 3:3-4 (CEV)
