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.
