Psalm 89:18
For the LORD is our Defence; and The Holy One of Israel is our King.
The Lord is our Defence and our Defender. He shields us with Himself from the evil which tries to provoke us, weary us, tarnish our reputations and take us out.
Psalm 84:11
For the LORD God is a Sun and Shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
We need to hear His Voice and heed His Word that we may be the people who "walk upright". Walk with integrity. Walk in grace. "Live by Faith". How we live in our everyday lives is our walk. Whether we walk with Christ or not.
If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, if you have not made the most important choice of your life, it's not too late. Now is the time to repent and follow Christ. Today is the day to kneel before Him, ask forgiveness for your sins and be filled with His Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 33:22
For The LORD is our Judge, The LORD is our Lawgiver, The LORD is our King; He will save us.
And save us He did. John 3:16,17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
Only then, when you believe, can Jesus be your Defence, your Defender. I'd rather be in the hand that holds the hilt (the pommel {counterweight}, the handle, the guard) than feel the wrath at the foible (the sharp pointy tip).
