True Security
I was reading an online devotional today written by Derek Prince and was struck by the simple truth of Psalm 5:12, "For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." NIV
God's Word is true; all of it, all the time, forever. So based on this scripture, God blesses the righteous. A lot of things today that we used to count on, we have found no longer absolutely sure. Many places that we have looked for security and certainty have failed us and let us down. Political systems, financial systems, legal systems, health care systems, education systems, religious systems, and even relationships seem to be crumbling today. But there remains one thing still sure in life. God blesses the righteous.
The psalmist goes on to say, “You surround them (the righteous) with your favor as with a shield.” God’s favor is toward the righteous and when we walk in His righteousness His favor is like a shield,or a protection around us. His favor shields us against the blows of life. It shields us against the pressures. It shields us against forces that are too strong for us. It shields us from harm and danger and evil.
What a blessing to walk in the favor of the Lord, to know His presence, to know His favor around about us as a shield. Remember, there’s one thing sure; God blesses the righteous.
