“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.”
Psalm 62:2 KJV
The old cliché says “A good defense makes a good offense.” Or maybe you have heard the old football proverb that says “Defense wins championships.” The psalmist knew he had a good defense in the Lord and he would not be shaken.
What in the world does all this mean? How does this apply to my spiritual walk? “A good defense is a good offense.” Well it’s simple. A good defense always sets up the offense with good field position. A good defense will create opportunities such as a turnover in the other team’s back yard, giving the offense a chance for success.
This is what our Lord does for us. Yes, our adversary will attack our weaknesses, but the Lord is our defense. And He is a mighty warrior, a mighty defense if you will (Exodus 15:3) . When the enemy comes in, the spirit of the Lord raises a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19 KJV) . In turn He sets us up for success; He creates an opportunity for testimony, an opportunity to give him glory.
Do not fret and do not fear for the Lord is our defense. He’s got our back and our front guard too (Exodus 14:14, 19). What the enemy intends for harm, He turns around for good (Gen. 50:20).
He’s our defense and we will be champions.
