He is:
 
OUR COUNSELOR
OUR SANCTUARY
OUR LIGHT
HE IS WONDERFUL!
OUR ROCK
OUR UNDERSTANDING
HE IS MIGHTY
 
We continue in our meditations of who our Loving God is and the many words that define Him and His character.  Today we will look at the power of the spoken and written words of our Living God.
 
 
THE WORD IS  OUR SHIELD.

 Proverbs 30:5 Expanded Bible

“Every word of God ·is true [passes the test;  is refined;

·He guards those [ They are a shield to those] who come to

him for ·safety [refuge].

 

God’s Word to us is flawless.  We need not try to analyze it,  we need only to believe that His Word is true.  He promises that His Word  is a shield to those that place their trust in Him.  In your day of battle you are promised that His Word will shield you and keep you.  It is in those times when the fiery darts of the enemy come to penetrate your soul that the Word of God that you believe and speak will be a protection, a refuge, and you will walk in victory.   Jesus stressed the importance and the blessing of living by the truth.

 

John 8:31-32 (PHILLIPS)

“If you are faithful to what I have said,

you are truly my disciples. And you will

know the truth and the truth will set you free!”

 

Oh that we would be diligent to know His Word that we may be free in every area of our lives.  Let us never add or subtract from His Word either.  
 

Proverbs 30:6

  “Add thou not anything to the words of him, and thou be reproved, and be found a liar. (Do not thou add anything to his words, lest thou be rebuked, and be found a liar.)”
 
 

 

Today I encourage you to  rejoice in the simplicity that God has laid out for us in His Word.  Love His Word and live by it.  He promises that as we do this, we will be free indeed!!!
