Our Scripture reading today is 2 Samuel 22:31,"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him."
It would seem to be easier to trust in what we can see. While this is true, the outcome of we see cannot compare to the outcome of faith. God's Word and way have been tried and proven time and time again. They are always best for the child of God to follow.
Another name for a buckler is a shield. As we trust in the LORD, we are guaranteed to have the best shield. The LORD is our shield. He is our protection from the fiery darts of the wicked. There will still be challenging times on the way of God, but we have Him with us an almighty buckler! Meditate on this promise today and it will bring a peace that passes all understanding.
