Reflection on My Defense Is God
When you face hard days, who do you run to? Do you try to handle it all on your own? Or do you let God be your shield?
David reminds us in Psalm 59:16 that his defense is God. This is not a hopeful scenario but a truth that changes how we live.
Life brings battles. Sometimes it’s fear. Other times, it’s people who speak against you or situations you can’t control. But when you declare, “My defense is God,” you choose to rest in His strength instead of your own.
Exodus 14:14 says,
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
That means you can stop trying to fix everything and start trusting the One who knows what to do.
God doesn’t just defend you once in a while, He defends you daily. His mercy shows up every morning, and His power never runs out.
If people speak lies about you, if doors close, or if storms rise, don’t panic. Speak the truth: My defense is God.
He sees everything and knows exactly how to protect and provide for you. His defense may not always look the way you expect, but it’s always perfect.
