“As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18:30 (NIV)
The songs or psalms that we have in our Bible were often written to express what the writers had experienced in trusting God. Today's verse is like that. When David wrote this song he had passed through a very trying period of his life. His experience had proved to him that God does everything right. That is why David used the words perfect and flawless to describe what God had done for him. We notice that David thought of God as a shield. Let's remember how a shield is used. It is used between a person and some threatening danger, and that is how our Lord protects us each day. Let's trust the Lord to be close to us, closer than the things which bother us. If He is that close He'll be between us and our problems and will truly protect us as He did so for David. That is our promise to remember – that our Lord is our shield, our perfect shield in this world today.
