“Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.” Psalm 35:2
David understood GOD didn’t need any armor to take care of his enemies, he’s using a picture in words to show the strength of GOD. GOD is omnipotent, all powerful on His own, but we are weak and in need of understanding His most magnificent power.
GOD’s shield and buckler are His WORD. Our strength doesn’t come from within ourselves, it is found in His Word. Both the SON, who is the WORD and the Bible He has provided for us which, proclaims the WORD. “Take hold of shield and buckler”
David knew just as the Apostle Paul did that they could trust the LORD for their help. Our Great GOD isn’t a god that will leave you in the lurch. His promise is to never leave or forsake. We are to trust what he says, knowing He will provide a way to escape. (1 Corinthians 10:13) “stand up for mine help.”
The enemy may seem very strong,
But he’s never met my GOD!
Whose magnificent power is out of sight,
You’ll never stand against His rod!
I’ve listened to your threatening speech.
Your threats of harm I’ve heard.
I’m not worried by what you’ve said,
I’m trusting in GOD’s WORD!
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” Ephesians 6:10-17
