2 Chronicles 12-15, 1 Corinthians 14: 20-40, Psalm 119, 113-120
Psalm 119: 14 (ESV)
“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.”
When I read verse 14 from Psalm 119, I felt myself wanting
to cry. I thought of all the times, I prayed to God for protection and safety.
I asked God to keep me safe and I felt that he answered my prayers and made me
feel protected and safe. But I also remember praying to God to help in times of
stress and danger, so God became my shield in my time of affliction. God is so
kind to us, his children. Like a good parent, we can go to God to hide from
danger knowing God will protect us and keep us safe. When we are in trouble,
God becomes our shield against those who would harm us. He is our father, our
partner, the one who inspires us in times of trouble to be strong and do battle
against our physical and spiritual foes. And when we have doubt, we can read
the stories in the Bible of how God has always fulfilled his promises to those
who have been faithful to him. These stories give us the assurance that if God
was faithful to those in the Bible, he will be faithful to us if are faithful
to him.
Reading the bible for me daily has become essential in my
walk with God. I see myself in so many of the people from the Old and New
Testament, who had doubts but still had faith in God. I also feel inspiration
from the people in the Old and New Testament whose faith was so strong in God
that they never wavered; their faith was unshakeable. Reading the Bible every
day renews my faith in God’s word.
