Samekh: God’s Words Protect Us

Read 119:113-120

Today’s Truth

God’s word keeps us from aligning with the double-minded and the wicked. He gives us His word as a shield to keep us safe. The fear of God is reverence and respect. It is being in awe of God and His laws. When we fear the Lord, we are not afraid of people or circumstances.

Discussion Questions

How has God’s word been a shield for you?
What does it mean for you to fear the Lord?

Application

As you read God’s words, may you be filled with gratitude. God loves you enough to give you rules that keep you safe. May you praise God and keep your hope in Him. And may you be encouraged that God loves you and is for you.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
