“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 3:1
\nO LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying of my soul, \u201cThere is no salvation for him in God.\u201d \u00a0But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.\u00a0\u00a0I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. \u00a0I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.\u00a0\u00a0I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.\u00a0\u00a0Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.\u00a0\u00a0Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people!<\/p>\n

Psalms 17:7
\nWondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.<\/p>\n

Psalms 42:10
\nAs with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, \u201cWhere is your God?\u201d<\/p>\n

Genesis 15:1
\nAfter these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: \u201cFear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 84:11
\nFor the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.<\/p>\n

Matthew 7:7
\n\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 29:12
\nThen you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been in a situation where you thought the world was against you? \u00a0Have you ever had hope, faith, and trust in God that you could say \u00a0“even if there is a thousand who are against me, I am not afraid” because of your understanding of who God is? \u00a0Have you ever known what is like to seek God with your whole heart? \u00a0David saw the trouble around him and knew the intent to harm him. \u00a0He called out to God with the trouble and then claimed Him as his hope and shield. \u00a0He was not going to fear what man could do but rather who God is and what He had promised. \u00a0David claimed God’s steadfast love, His strength, and no good thing is withheld from those who walk uprightly. \u00a0We have so much to continue to know and understand about God this side of eternity. \u00a0Everyday there is something new to be thankful for. \u00a0A person once told me recently that he drove 20 miles to work on a farm. \u00a0He used to thank God for things he saw on the drive. \u00a0Fields, eyesight, hearing, transportation, trees, corn fields, rain, sunshine, clouds, sky, rivers, water, wind, thunder, lightening, snow, rocks, dirt, colors, etc…. the list is endless if we just give the minimal thought to it. Add to this the bible and His promises and now we can really have something to thank Him for. \u00a0Today see how many things you can thank God for – Keep Him on your mind no matter where you are or what you are doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
