Shield, Rock, Fortress

II Samuel 22: 31-34

God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield to all who look to Him for protection. For who is God except the Lord? Who but our God is a solid rock? God is my strong fortress, and He makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
("Hinds Feet On High Places.")

O my Father, I know that all Your promises have proved true, and they are all coming to be fulfilled according to Your ways and in your time. I trust in You, and I am learning to trust You more with every area of my life. Strengthen my faith to put into Your hands those things I have taken into my own hands, and have suffered the consequences. Lay Your peace upon me to rest in Your love, settle my heart and mind to leave my circumstances in Your care, not mine. And may You cause all the credit, all the honor and all the glory to redound to You, the only One Who deserves it all, because You have done all things.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
