Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our Help and our Shield.
Psalm 33:20
I read this verse, and I’m simply grateful that God’s always there to help me! The Lord is always my Help and my Shield. Friends, this is huge! If you are a believer, you too, can say the same! (When we call out to Him in prayer, serve Him, express our hearts about God to others, face struggles, and do life, HE IS WITH US AND WILL HELP US. WE ARE NOT ALONE! The Holy Spirit lives inside of us, and we have HIS POWER working in us. Let’s be amazed and thankful for that every day.)
Bow to Him, and be amazed by Him! (He will help you.)
Because He is the great and loving God that He is, friends, go to Him. Yield your heart to Him first each day! Ask the Holy Spirit to let you realize He’s your Help and Shield in every possible way. Live each day/your life in a prayerful way.
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Be strong in Him, and be amazed by Him! (He will help you.)
God is greater than any spiritual warfare that we may face! You will face it, as a believer. Be ready! Put on the shield of faith-believing in Him and what He can do. In fact, put on the whole Armor of God every day, and be strong in the Lord! He will protect you!
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness,
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Stand therefore, having as shoes for your feet,
having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God,
praying at all times in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication.
To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Follow Him, and be amazed by Him! (He will help you.)
With the Holy Spirit living inside of me, sometimes, He wants me to “go out on a limb” for God’s glory. It may not be a popular place to be. It may take boldness and courage to go! It may not be safe! It may be lonely because others may not be with me! Some may not understand what I’m doing at first. But if that is where God wants me to go, I go because I love Him! He will help me as I go, whatever the situation is! (Lord, help me follow You wherever You lead me.)
When He has brought out all His own, He goes before them,
and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice.
John 10:4

Lord, we love You. Let us recognize that You are our Help and Shield in every possible way. We desperately need You. Let us bow to You, be strong in You, and follow You—wherever You lead us—all for Your glory! In Jesus’ precious Name, I pray. Amen.
