A Place of Refuge, and Strength, Shielded from Your Enemies
David speaking here of his tried, and tested relationship with the Lord. God has brought David through many a battle successfully. He knows the Lord is his strength and his shield. David’s heart can truly trust in the Lord after so many victories. We must gain our own track record of victories because of God’s help. We are more than conquerors through Christ, and have been given all power through our Lord Jesus Christ. David did not have the born again experience under his belt as we do. We have the helper, teacher, strengthener, and power of the Godhead backing us in today’s world. David was engaged through fellowship with the Lord on a regular basis without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God came upon men before Jesus walked the earth. Today God’s Spirit lives in us when we become Christians, it’s the only way to receive clear instructions for victory. There was great trust between David and God earned over the years, and the Lord had become his ultimate place of refuge, strength, and a shield against the enemies best attacks. The Lord is our strength and our shield. Let your heart trust in Him like David did. As we confidently, and continually lean on the Lord, we will be helped.
