Psalm 18:30b (RSV) ” This God–his way is perfect; the promise of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.”

The Scene: A shield with three crosses at the top representing the Holy Trinity: Father Son, Holy Spirit; and four crosses on the face of the shield symbolic of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The large white cross in the middle represents Jesus with a red border representing His shed blood which covers His believers’ sins and the color yellow for His being the Light of the world.

Jesus is our shield and defender against the evils of this world.

2 Samuel 22:3 ” My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent men you save me.”

Psalm 33:20-22 “We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.”

6-16 PROTECTION

Psalm 135:7 “He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.”

The Scene: Large cloud bank–symbolic of God’s provision. His supply is endless, like the clouds in the sky.

Psalm147:8-9 “He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.”

He quenches the earth’s thirst, brings shade to cover the land from the sun’s hot rays.

Psalm 65:9” You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.”

Psalm 113:3 “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”

God will make a way where there seems to be no way, for He cares for His people and will meet their needs. Those who deny God may or may not have their needs met; however, we know that God does love all humankind.

6-14 PROVISION OF GOD

1 Corinthians 11:3 “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.”

The Scene: A series of boxes rises from the largest box “God the Father” who is very strong–capable of carrying all mankind .

1 Corinthians 11:11-12 “In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also was man born of woman. But everything comes from God.”

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for hm. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. “

6-15 HEAD OF THE CHURCH

Isaiah 41:10 ” ‘ So do not feaR, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ‘ “

The Scene: A single lever faucet (only one handle) representing our one an only God (The Holy Trinity)– Our God is here for us, in our times of need, latent, like the water being held back by the faucet handle(valve). Our God’s power is available anytime, to His people that pray in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 46:4 ” ‘Even to your old age and gray hair I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will rescue you. ‘ “

Psalm 125:2 “As the mountains surround Jerusalem so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forever more.”

6-13 GOD’S POWER

Isaiah 42:1, 6-7 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”

The Scene: The captives have been set free– the prison door, symbolic of the gates of Hell, has been opened, never to be closed again for all who choose to believe in God’s Son, Jesus the Christ of Nazareth.

Ephesians 4:8-10 “This is why it says: ‘When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men.’ (What does ‘he ascended’ mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) “

On the third day after Jesus’ death on the cross of Calvary (now called Easter/Resurrection Day) He arose, and in so doing set the captives free! His people, called by His name “Christian”* are set free from death unto eternal life in heaven. Hallelujah! *Christ follower/little Christ

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

6-8 SET FREE

Acts Chapter 27 (Paul sails for Rome): Though the Apostle Paul was surrounded by high waves from rough seas, he did not lose faith in his God (Father God) nor his Savior, Jesus.

The Scene: Molecular symbols of oxygen and hydrogen (water): all around like someone encapsulated in water, representing God’s faithfulness. H2O surrounds us in the atmosphere we breathe and on the surface water of the earth. Two-thirds of the earth is covered with water. Science tells us water is contained in everything on the earth (natural elements).

Our God is here for us in time of need. The Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are on call for us day and night, 24/7. They remain on duty for us, for they love us.

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.”

2 Thessalonians 3:3 “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”

Revelation 22:1 “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.”

6-11 GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

Luke 12:27 ” Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. “

The Scene: A bright lily aglow in its natural God-given glory.

The Lord has promised to take care of His own people–those who believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who have confessed their sin, repented and have been forgiven by Jesus. Now they are filled with His Holy Spirit and have an opportunity to remain faithful. They shall have their needs met.

For the Lord our God has said, “Fear not for you are mine. Fear not!”

Luke 12:32 ” Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

Psalm 105:4 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.”

Luke 11:10 “For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

6-12 GOD’S PROVISION

Psalm 105:4 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.”

The Scene: Arrows pointing toward the name of Jesus–symbolic of keeping our eyes focused on our Savior Jesus Christ.

Matthew 14:31 tells us Peter lost focus on Jesus and began to sink into the sea. “Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘Why did you doubt?’ “

The Holy Spirit through His Word shows us we must not doubt or fear as Peter did.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”

Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

We are filled with His Spirit and are called to follow after righteousness, seek God, leave sin behind.

Zephaniah 2:3 ” Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands, seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.”

We can expand our spiritual maturity and understanding God, when week seek Him and His Word.

Hosea 10:12 ” Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.”

6-10 SEEK JESUS

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

The scene: A rope made of three strands symbolic of Biblical marriage: one strand the bride, one strand the groom and one strand the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

The relationship between man and wife is unique, according to the book of Genesis when God created Adam and Eve. From the beginning of God’s creation, marriage is Christ centered, that is, from the beginning of the marital relationship, God’s perfect will is that the bond not be broken. The bonds are too strong, like a multi-braided rope. The single strand of cord becomes strengthened when braided with additional strands.

Matthew 19:4-6 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?’ So they are no longer two but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.’ “

Pray daily to keep the ties of marriage strong. Pray for your spouse daily.

6-11 MARRIAGE

Ephesians 2:14-16 “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death the hostility.”

The Scene: The cross of Christ represented–with the shadow of the cross symbolic of the tablets of the law as brought down from the mountain, by Moses.

“My people have come out from the shadow of darkness of this world and the law into the light of the world, God’s only Son, Jesus.” (Quickened to the author by the Holy Spirit)

Colossians 2:14 “Having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.”

However, there are those who have chosen to continue living under the law & walking in its darkness–the shadow of the cross, rather than its reality. Hebrews 7:18-19 “The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.”

Now we know Jesus is returning for His bride–He is the Light of the world; there will be no more shadow of the law, no more darkness. Hebrews 10:1 “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming–not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.”
