MY SHIELD IS GOD MOST HIGH
Keywords 7:10
My shield is God Most High, who saves
the upright in heart.
1. Vindicate me, LORD (1-9)
David had to run for his life for
many years due to King Saul’s jealousy. At other times he was
misunderstood, falsely accused, and his life was threatened by enemies. But
David took refuge in God, brought his case before him in prayer, and asked to
vindicate him in his justice. For the righteous God examines minds and hearts
of people, vindicates the innocent, and puts to an end the violence of the
wicked.
2.
God is a righteous Judge (10-17)
God saves the upright in heart
who put their trust in him; he is a righteous judge who displays his wrath by
pursuing and destroying those who are full of evil desires but do not repent.
He causes violent people to fall into their own trap. David was aware of
injustice in the world, but lived with a conviction that justice will prevail,
for God is just.
Prayer Lord,
thank you for your justice which prevails in the end. Cleanse me from sin and
help me to take refuge in you, who is my shield.
One Word God Most High is my shield
