Your Great Reward

 

Abram believed
in the Lord

who told him
not to fear

that He would be
his great reward

his forever
shield.

**********

I have an exceedingly great reward and shield, for You are with me.

**********

“After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.’ “

“And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.”

Genesis 15:1,6 NKJV

Psalm 3 Selah

 

You, O Lord
are a shield for me

when the enemy
surrounds

lifting my head
and sustaining me

in You
my blessing’s found.

**********

I can pause to evaluate my situation and who You are in it, for You are with me.

**********

“Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.”

“Many are they who say of me, ‘There is no help for him in God.’ “

“But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.”

“I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.”

“Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people.” Selah

Your Shield

 

You cannot trust
in idols
they do not see
or hear

trust only in
your King of Glory
your true help
and shield.

A laid down life has a trustworthy help and shield.

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but to Your name give glory. Because of Your mercy, because of Your truth. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. Eyes they have, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.” Psalm 115:1,4,5,11. NKJV

A Shield For Us

“Many are they who say of me,
‘There is no help for him in God.’
But You, O LORD are a shield for me
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.”  Psalm 3:2-3

So many times He has shielded me when I didn’t know I needed it.

Lord, we praise You for being our help in ways no one else knows or sees.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

You Save Me

when I am yet unaware
You shield me
and lift my head to see
You are my glory
my One and only King
who sustains me
and hears my cry
always, always
saving me.
