“Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word” (Psalm 119:114).
When doubt and fear plague our lives, isn’t it a comfort to know we have a place we can run and hide. We don’t have to feel helpless or hopeless in the arms of a loving Savior. In Bible times there were two kinds of shields. One was large enough to protect a whole army if necessary. The other was small so you could carry it in one hand and hold on to your sword with the other. Either one offered protection from the enemy. Doubt and fear come from our enemy, the devil. We need to go to our hiding place and use our shield of faith and the sword of His Word. We can be protected and conquer doubt and fear.
