Like David, we proclaim You as our
Magen, our Shield! Who or
what could penetrate Your presence that surrounds us? Your glory,
the essence of Who You are is even our rear guard. That means
nothing can effectively attack us from behind. No arrow that flies
by day or night, no terror can reach us. You are more than the
best bullet-proof vest, You are our full-body suit of armor that
even the enemy's best nuclear warhead cannot pierce. You even
spoke to Abram and proclaimed Yourself as his Magen when You said,
"Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly
great reward." (Genesis 15:1)
"But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the
One who lifts up my head." (Psalm 3:3) "The LORD is
my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise
Him." (Psalm 28:7) "For You, O LORD, will bless the
righteous; with favor You will surround (me) as with a shield."
(Psalm 5:12) You shall cover me with Your feathers, and under
Your wings I shall take refuge; Your truth shall be my shield
and buckler." (Psalm 91:4)
O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is your help and your shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is your help and your
shield. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is your help
and your shield. (Psalm 115:9-11) "You are my hiding place
and my shield; I hope in Your word." (Psalm 119:114) "Blessed
be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers
for battle--my loving kindness and my fortress, my high tower
and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
who subdues my people under me." (Psalm 144:1,2) "The
word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in
Him." (Psalm 18:30) Again and again we worship Jehovah Magen!
