”The Lord is my strength and my wraparound shield. When I fully trust in you, help is on the way. I jump for joy and burst forth with ecstatic, passionate praise! I will sing songs of what you mean to me! You will be the inner strength of all your people, the mighty protector of all, and the saving strength for all your anointed ones. Save your people whom you love, and bless your chosen ones. Be our shepherd leading us forward, forever carrying us in your arms!“
We often look to King David for wisdom in war, because he was the great warrior king of Israel. As I often point out, in times of great distress, he would recall the faithfulness of God and those personal testimonies would strengthen him and change his mindset to that of being loved, protected, cared for and mighty in battle. That’s exactly what he’s doing here. And that’s what we need to do. Here we are right at the midway point in the regular session after two special session and looking in the face of a possible convention to amend the constitution. For those of us who are in this fight, and those who are in other battles and are facing similar weariness - this is the time to remind ourselves of where our strength, hope and victory come from. They come from the Lord. He is our wraparound shield. He is our mighty protector and inner strength. He is the one who saves us, and He is the one giving us every victory that is being won. Set your gaze, your heart and your focus back on the Lord. Spend time praising Him and watch how He renews your strength. He is so faithful to do that. Our praise of Him is what infuses us with joy and strength to continue to push ahead.
