Obviously, I find swords symbolic, but for a while now, God has been
showing me some things about shields. Shields are a primarily defensive
weapon, so I've never really paid much attention to them. Then I
noticed in the Bible that when swords are mentioned, it can either be
positive or negative, but whenever you read about shields, it is ALWAYS a
positive thing. A thing of refuge, protection and comfort, something a
weary warrior can appreciate. The Psalms, which have been my constant
encouragement this past winter, is chock full of talk of shields. How
God is a shield for His children, a protection, and something you can
hide behind and always count on to ward off attacks when you're too
tired or wounded to be on the offense.
In a nutshells, shields are awesome.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalms 28:7 NKJ
Ok, a verse that includes strength, shields, trust, and singing, what more could you want? Seriously?
