We know God is our shield because He reveals Himself as a protector throughout scripture, especially in times of trouble.
The concept of God being our shield is central to many biblical narratives, particularly in the life of David, who consistently refers to God as his refuge and strength. In Psalm 18:30-31, David asks, 'Who is God besides the Lord?' affirming that there is no one else who can shield from danger as the Lord does. His history of faithfulness and protection throughout David's life serves as evidence of His reliable nature. This promise is not limited to David's experience; it extends to all believers who rest in Him, reminding us that God is the ultimate protector against all forms of evil.
