Psalm 28:7: 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.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
God is power; He is mighty. And He is a shield for protection. He is power and protection. But can you say, “Is He my power? Is He my protection?” He is if your heart trusts in Him.
If you trust God, He will help you. He will hear and answer prayer. What happens when He answers prayer? “With my song will I praise him.” Oh, my friend, let’s not forget to thank Him and praise Him when He answers our prayers! 1
Living the Transformed Life
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. Psalm 118:8–9
- I will not be afraid because my Lord is my strength and my shield.
- I will not be afraid because I can trust my Lord with all my heart.
- I will not be afraid because I can lift my voice with joyful praise to my Lord, for He has been my help in time of need.
There is no one like The One who protects me, and provides for me, and prays for me.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for inviting me to become a friend of God. Dear Jesus, please teach me to trust You for everything, and to trust the world for nothing.
