Acorn Build Up: Shield of Joy

Shield of Joy

Psalm 5:11-12
...let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Does it feel as though life is an uphill battle? We fight and we hack. We plan and we work. We rush and we cram. And despite these heroic efforts, life remains difficult. Where can we find sanctuary?

There is shelter in the Lord. Unfortunately, I tend to seek my shelter in every other possibility. Beleaguered I eventually limp back to God. And there, vigilantly waiting, is protection. There is great joy in the strong, caring arms of the Lord.

Look to the Lord as your shield.
