PORTRAITS OF GOD: THE DEFENDER



“A...defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation.” (Ps.68:5)

In that ancient world, few were more helpless than a widow.  They were often taken advantage of by the powerful.  Yet, we are reminded that God is a strong defender of even the most helpless.

Jesus described Satan as one who seeks to kill and destroy—and said he was a murderer.  If he could, the Devil would kill you on the spot—but we have a Defender far greater.  The most powerful oppressor is no match for our great Protector. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4).

Why should we fear?  Of whom or what should we be afraid?
