Defense

Negatives Positives Computer Keys Showing Plus And Minus Alternatives Analysis And DecisionsI’ve heard coaches that say: “The best offense is a good defense.” There are times when I need defended. There are circumstances beyond my control and I feel pushed on, put down and attacked. I must put up a defense. Some defense requires offense. I have learned in my journey of faith that the Lord can and will defend me. I am still learning to trust Him with my defense. Check this out….

1 Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;

    fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and armor;

    arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin

    against those who pursue me.
Say to me,

    ‘I am your salvation.’
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord

    and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim,

    ‘Who is like you, Lord?

You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,

    the poor and needy from those who rob them.’ (Psalm 35:1-3; 9-10 NIV)

 

I’m learning that walking in faith is a daily experience. I can’t get enough ahead for tomorrow, but I can rest in Him today. I need not worry about tomorrow – He’s got that. I am so grateful for the defense and protection of the Lord. He protects me from others and sometimes from myself. I need His protection and I need Him to be my defense. I love that not only is He my Protector, but He’s also my Provider. I’m living in under Him today and everyday!

Pressing On!
