Your armor and protection...


In more than one scripture, God compares Himself to an eagle.  Is there anything more majestic than an eagle soaring overhead? How tender is the thought of that same strong, majestic eagle sheltering one of his little ones under his wings. I love that imagery of the love our Father God has for us. Psalm 91:4, however, doesn't finish with that thought. It concludes with this powerful statement, "His faithful promises are your armor and protection".  Other translations say, "His truth shall be your shield and buckler."  If I could share the main thing that has been my source of hope, encouragement, and strength, the armor and protection over my mind and heart in the heat of life's battle, it has been God's Word.  In my opinion, it is impossible to live a victorious Christian life without loving and embracing God's Word as your vital necessity.  As you read God's Word, I encourage you to write down significant verses that God uses to speak to you.  When the battle rages around you, use these as your armor.  satan's lies are no match for the powerful truth of God's Word.
