Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 18:30, "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD
is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him."
We have been given all we need in the LORD. The buckler mentioned in this verse is
a shield. Fiery darts are coming all the time, but God has provided each of us with a
shield to prevent them from hitting the target. The LORD is our shield. Satan can
shoot as many arrows as he wants, but they will not overcome the LORD our God!
"This echoes other Scripture passages illustrating the Lord as a fortress and strong tower, showing
that believers who run to Him, much like David, find safe haven from danger." theBiblesays.com
There is a simple requirement in making this Shield effective. Our trust must be in
Him. Do you trust God with your life? Do you believe that His way is perfect and
best for you? God's will for your life is perfect and is for your good. Be willing to
submit to Him and die to your plans every day.
