“As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.” – Psalm 18:30-32 (NKJV)
Oh, that we would keep perfect trust in Him, and never falter in our belief of Him! He is perfect and knows exactly what we need when we need it. I’m so thankful that in our times of lack or weakness, His strength carries us through. Because if we would only grasp how magnificent He truly is, how He is divinely perfect, I’m convinced that we would run to Him and never leave His presence.
Lord, increase our understanding of Your perfection, so that we would desire You more and more.
I love the promise that He is our shield – in all circumstances – for those who place their trust in Him. The Hebrew word used to translate “shield” means “to wrap around in protection.” God Himself is our shield all around us, as One who encircles us with His presence. A hedge of protection that divinely covers us under His glory and presence.
I love how the Passion translation reads:
“Yahweh, what a perfect God you are!
All Yahweh’s promises have proven true.
What a secure shelter for all those
who turn to hide themselves in you,
the wraparound God.
Could there be any other god like Yahweh?
For there is not a more secure foundation than you.
God, you have wrapped me in power
And made my way perfect.” – Psalm 18:30-32 (TPT)
“Lord, I desire to surrender to You wholeheartedly – mind, body and soul. Increase Your presence in my thoughts, in my desires, and in my body. May I trust You fully as my secure foundation, that shields me under the covering and power of Your Holy Spirit. As you transform me, from glory to glory, and mold me into the likeness of Jesus, may my life be a vessel that points others to You, so that they too may know Your divine perfection. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
