Proverbs 30 Protection 

Today in my reading of Daniel 3 and Proverbs 30 one verse was clearly stamped on my thoughts: “Every word of God is purified; he is like a shield for those who take refuge in him.” (Vs 5) 

Three Hebrews challenged Nebuchadnezzar’s command to bow down to the golden statue, but this verse says exactly what they did. They trusted in God to be a shield about them and He proved Himself faithful. We will always come across the Nebuchadnezzar’s in this world. What will we choose to do? The Proverbs writer reminds us that in challenging times, God alone will be our refuge. Psa 33:20 We wait for the Lord; he is our deliverer and shield. And again Psa 115:11 You loyal followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord. He is their deliverer and protector.

What Nebuchadnezzar is in your path today? Trust God to be your shield and protector.
