“After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, ‘Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your very great reward.’” Genesis 15:1 God is a shield to you. These words came to Abram immediately after a war in which Abram rescued an entire town as well as his nephew Lot. The Lord said to Abram – “Do not fear” – because He, the Lord, the God of Heaven, the Creator of the Universe, is a shield to him. A shield is a covering, a protection, a barrier to the onslaught of the world around. Each day when I wake, I do not know what the day will hold, but I do know that I need God to be a shield to me. He covers me, He protects me, He is a barrier from the onslaught of the world. He is my shield, which I especially need when the unpredictable events of life arise. He knows them and sees them and is a shield to me, my very great reward. Dear Lord, please allow me to feel Your covering, Your protection, that You are my barrier when my world changes at the drop of a hat. Please allow me to remember that You are my shield and that You love me and are my very great reward. In Jesus name, Amen.
