To God alone be all the Glory.
Reflection: He guards me from the arrows of life.
Verse: But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. – Psalm 3:3
This journey of 30 Days Jesus is Enough for Us has been like a river of comfort and strength. Every new day we discover another side of God’s heart.
On Day 1, He was our Portion, reminding us we are never empty.
On Day 2, He became our Provider, meeting every need.
On Day 3, He gently led us as our Shepherd.
On Day 4, He carried us with His Strength.
On Day 5, He calmed our storms as our Peace.
On Day 6, He healed us as our Healer.
On Day 7, He lifted our eyes as our Helper.
On Day 8, He hid us as our Refuge.
On Day 9, He stood firm as our Rock.
On Day 10, He drew near as our Comforter.
On Day 11, He shined as our Light.
On Day 12, He restored us as our Redeemer.
On Day 13, He called us His Friend.
On Day 14, He filled us with Hope.
On Day 15, He gave us Rest.
On Day 16, He embraced us as our Father.
And now, Day 17 reminds us: The Lord is our Shield.
In life, arrows come from every side. Arrows of fear. Arrows of sickness. Arrows of betrayal. Arrows of sudden loss. Sometimes they hit us where it hurts most. Sometimes they come when we least expect it.
But God does not leave us exposed. He is our Shield. Not a small one that covers only part of us, but a mighty shield that surrounds us completely. He guards us when we are awake and when we sleep. He protects our hearts from breaking beyond repair. He covers our minds from thoughts that try to crush us.
David wrote Psalm 3 when he was running for his life. His own son, Absalom, had risen against him. Friends turned into enemies. Yet David said, “But You, O Lord, are a Shield for me.” That is the faith we are called to live in. To trust that no matter how sharp the arrows, they cannot destroy us because God Himself is our covering.
Life Application
Think today of the arrows you are facing—worry, sickness, pain, rejection. Instead of fighting in your own strength, picture God as a great Shield around you. Whisper to your heart: “The Lord is my Shield, He guards me.”
Rest in His protection. Even when life feels unsafe, your soul is safe in Him.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for being my Shield. When arrows fly against me, You guard me. When fears rise, You cover me. When enemies plot, You surround me. Teach me to trust Your protection and not be afraid of what comes my way. Lift up my head today, and remind me that I am never unguarded, for You are my Shield and my Glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Tons of Love
