"The Lord is my defence!

Back to Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household


"The Lord is my defence!" Psalm 44:22

Sin has . . .
stripped us of our righteousness,
reduced us to a state of weakness, and
left us exposed to innumerable dangers! 

We are never safe for one moment—if left to ourselves! 

All the hosts of hell are opposed to us, and in league against us: they influence evil men, and sometimes make use of even good men to injure us. 

Afflictions crowd our path—and every pore of the body, and every power of the mind, may prove the inlet to something injurious!

Our dangers are numerous and great! 

Our folly and weakness are even greater!

We need constant guidance and protection!

Where shall we find one able and willing to befriend us? To whom shall we look for support and safety? Happy is the man who can say, "The Lord is my defence!" 

This is the privilege of every Christian. 
God is engaged for him. 
God is ever with him. 
God will never leave him. 
If God is our defence—then . . . 
we need not fear—for He is omnipotent; 
we should not yield to doubt—for He is omnipresent; 
we should rejoice and be glad—for protection is certain. 

If in trouble—He will keep us from sinking!

If exposed to the fiercest temptation—He will preserve us from ruin!
