Tim Keller did a sermon on praying through your fears… God used it to encourage me a lot lately. I enjoy his speaking and am thankful for his God glorifying ministry.
One thing he talked about was how David said God was his shield. Apparently this type of shield was one used when going into battle, it wrapped around the person who was marching into battle…God is that shield to me, He wraps His protection around me, but if i turn my back and run, I lose that protection. Only in sheer obedience do we receive God’s full shield of protection. I see that clearly now.
