GLORY SHIELDS

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!
