Shields Up
It’s a familiar phrase if you’ve ever watched Star Trek in any
form. I’m going to share a verse that has gotten me through a lot over
the years. It was the start of me doing this Bible study thing.
About the time this all started my ex and I had broken up and not too
long after that my grandma passed away. I was hurt. But I came to
these two verses.
Psalm 3:3-4
“But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the
one who holds my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me
from his holy mountain.”
At that point in my life I understood “the one who holds my head
high.” Why did I understand that? Because my spirit was crushed.
It was a time where God took my chin in his hand and made me look up at
him.
Now before I finish this blog I want to take your mind in a bit
of a different direction. It said that God is a shield about us.
Many times in the Bible, God is described as a mighty warrior defending
his people. I wrote this poem one time and it was about a closer look at
Captain America. See the superhero has been around for years and he uses
the shield for offense and defense. Now think about this for a minute.
A shield around us. It protects us. But God may also be using
that shield in offense to protect us as well. You can lift a shield
overhead to protect from flying arrows. In front of your person or to the
sides. A shield can also be swung or hurled in offense depending on the
size of the shield and strength of the warrior. Someone may also use a
shield to defend someone else while attacking with the other hand. You
can also stand a shield in the ground and hide behind it. Many ways to
mentally see God being our shield and protecting us.
