Daily Devotional: May 16 – Truth Guard

He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler – Psalm 91:4

We know from the writings of Apostle Paul that faith is a shield (as part of the armor of God). Yet, this verse shows us that faith is not the only shield. Truth is also a shield that keeps us safe. It keeps us from believing the lies of the enemy and keeps us walking in freedom by not straying away from the path of God. Additionally, truth is a bucker that helps us repel away the cutting words of the enemy. When we have hidden the truth of the word of God in our heart, we find that words that are contrary to truth no longer affects us. We don’t have to live according to what some teacher, classmate, parent, friend, family member, boss, or stranger said to you or about you. By meditating on the word of God, we can live according to the truth of His word. It is up to each of us to guard our hearts with God’s truth so that we can be safe and secure. Failure to do this leads to us to live according to lies and experience many issues in life.

I choose to guard my heart with your truth today
