Psalm 3:3 (WEB) But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. Promise #223: I am your shield, your glory and the lifter of your head. The Hebrew word for shield in this promise is a substance so thick that it is likened unto the scaly hide of a crocodile. God is our shield and our protector. Nothing can get through His defences. Our God and Father is also our glory, which is the Hebrew word ‘kabowd’, which means a weighty honor that He places on us simply because we belong...
