His Faithfulness

Psalm 91 has always been one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.  I love the way it states clearly His promises and His character, and the way it speaks these truths into you.  It was the first complete chapter in the Bible I memorized (about 6 years ago now), and one I say over circumstances on a regular basis.  So when Holy Spirit woke me up this morning to a song and a verse within 91, I almost missed the depth, the new revelation He took me to due to familiarity.
The song was "You make me brave" by Amanda Cook & Bethel, the verse was the second part of 4 "...HIS faithfulness will be YOUR shield and rampart."

Faithfulness -

• Strict or thorough in the performance of duty.
• True to one's word, promises, vows, etc.
• Steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant.
• Reliable, trusted, or believed.
• Adhering or true to fact, a standard, or an original; accurate

Shield - 

• a large piece of metal, wood, etc., carried by someone (such as a soldier or police officer) for protection
• protect (someone or something) from a danger, risk, or unpleasant experience.
• something that defends or protects someone or something
• a police officer's badge

Rampart -

• a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone parapet.
• fortify or surround with or as if with a rampart.
• anything serving as a bulwark or defense.

Our protection from the world is trusting in His Faithfulness, that He is true to His Word, reliable  always, despite what it looks like in the natural. When we allow ourselves to trust completely in His faithfulness, surrendering our need to understand, with no backup plan, He is our Shield and Rampart.
