Psalm 5:12
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
God Favors Us
God’s favor protects us. This favor is called grace in the New Testament. It means that we are his favored ones. We are His favorites. Just like the Lord chose the nation of Israel to be a special people to Him and show those who did not know Him that He was real and powerful, those of us who are in Christ are now partakers with Abraham in that favor. Here we learn that this favor actually surrounds us like a shield. This shield will protect us from behind, beside and before. Knowing God loves us and is blessed with us because of the righteousness of Christ being put upon us, will protect us from haunting reminders of who we used to be, help us walk in the joy of acceptance today and will lead us into the lives He has for us tomorrow. His grace will work mightily through us and protect us from our adversaries.
