Our Sun and Shield

For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. Psalm 84:11

The Lord is so good to us! He is our everything! He is like our sun for He gives us light to see… otherwise we would stumble in darkness. Psalm 18:28 His light (understanding) brings warmth to us and encourages us…

Our God is like a shield for He protects us. Psalm 18:2 No evil can come to us, no ill-will can cross us without the Lord’s first o.k. He’s in-charge, God directs… He protects.

The Lord gives us saving grace to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ! Acts 15:11, Acts 18:27, Romans 5:15. It is through His mercy that we see and know what we know…

That we know to do right… to be righteous. Something… of course, we cannot do own our own, that we do not possess, and that on our own we cannot obtain.

Yet, in Christ all things are possible… even godly righteousness within us. A righteousness worked into our lives through the grace and mercy of Christ… who is our example… our “sun and our shield”.
