Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God is a shield whose word can be trusted, and his way for us is perfect. His way is not only flawless but also life-giving. However, we must choose to take refuge in him so his flawless word and his perfect way can bless us, as his presence is our shield of protection. Our allegiance, reliance, and dependence must be voluntarily placed in him, and our lives must be committed to living by his flawless word.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

My Prayer...

God of our Fathers - Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - we trust our souls and our futures to you. You are our strength and shield. Please protect and guard us, our families, and your church from the evil one. Please defeat his wicked plans for us. Please bless us with physical safety, spiritual vibrance, and moral uprightness as we serve you and seek to honor your flawless word by obeying you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
