“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:11-12
Wow, what a beautiful promise we have in Him! No matter what obstacle you face today, you can ever shout for joy because God defends you. He protects you. We can trust in Him because He will bless the righteous and He surrounds us with favor like a shield. Take a moment and picture God surrounding you on all sides with a big, heavy, metal shield. Each shield is touching the other shield as to not allow any openings. That is how this verse is describing God’s favor surrounding you. You will have favor everywhere you go! You will have favor in everyone’s eyes you come across today. Favor in mans eyes. Whatever obstacle you are facing, REJOICE, because God will defend you and He will surround you with Godly Favor!
