Compassed About
“For Thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt Thou compass him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12).
“Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah” (Psalm 32:7).
“He that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall
compass him about” (Psalm 32:10).
“The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them” (Psalm 34:7).
It’s a very disheartening and frightening thing to be in a hostile territory and realize you’re surrounded by the enemy. But we can rejoice in a far greater power than that of our enemy, Satan. This very day we are compassed about with the Lord’s own “shield” of protection; with “songs of deliverance”; with abundant “mercy”; and with “the angel of the Lord.” Would we wish it any different? Would you wish to be anywhere else?
Yes, we are definitely in a spiritual war zone, and will be as long as we are in this world. But we have One who is far greater than any onslaught of Satan and his forces. We are assured, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
