For it is you who blessed the righteous man, O Lord, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
When we live within the shelter of God, when we follow God’s instructions and focus on his love, then we are surrounded with the favor of the Lord. This favor does not mean that we receive all we would wish for, rather it means that we have the opportunity to live with God’s blessing upon us; we live with light hearts, a clear conscience, and the peace that comes from knowing and walking alongside Jesus Christ.
This shield of favor does not deflect all the possible attacks that come against us, but it certainly does help when we are attacked. When we are constantly worshiping God, we are less likely to be destroyed by the evil that may cross our path.
