God’s Favour Surrounds Us as a Shield

 “But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; With favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭5:11-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

David in the old covenant knew to trust and rejoice in God.  Here he sings to let them all be glad, those who turn aside to hide themselves in God. May they keep shouting for joy forever! David asks God to overshadow them in His Presence as they sing and rejoice. Then every lover of God’s Name  will burst forth with endless joy. David asks the Lord to wonderfully bless the righteous. God’s favor wraps around each one and covers them under His canopy of kindness and joy.  In the new covenant of grace, through the death and resurrection of the Son of God, we were made righteous.  So we inherit all the blessings of the righteous.  God’s defence against the wiles of the enemy, His protection, favour, provision and restoration are all ours through the Lord Jesus’s Blood sacrifice.  Our part is to trust in God’s covenant Word and rejoice with all of our being.  Thank You Father for our inheritance as joint heirs with Christ!
