God is our shield. That means that God can keep us safe. There was a man named Frederick Nolan. Nolan was in North Africa during a time of persecution who hid from his enemies in a cave. He couldn't run any longer and crawled inside exhausted. He knew the enemy would find him, but he just couldn't go on. As he lay there a spider began weaving a web. Those who would kill him soon arrived at the entrance to the cave, but upon seeing the web they thought there was no way Nolan could've entered the cave without disturbing the web. They moved on, searching for him elsewhere, and he escaped them. When he realized what happened he said, “Where God is, a spiders web is like a wall,
“Where God is not, a wall is like a spiders web.”
In the world's view faith may seem a flimsy thing, but God is able to keep us and protect us against all the wiles of the enemy. Today let us remember that no matter how vulnerable we appear or how great what we face appears God is not only our shield but all the shield we need.
