Shade, shelter, stronghold…buckler, shield, and bulwark. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are triple protected by triune love.
I think you will love the following sentences from a Celtic devotional that I have recently been pondering:
“God the Father is the shield beneath which we hide our fragile souls. He comes both generous and large to cover us when troubles rain down upon us.
God the Son made of His own cross a place for our hard times and the wood He chose now serves our wounds.
God the Spirit lives within us like structured steel with welded braces so the pressures from without can never crush us.
We are triple-kept by triune love, shielded by the three in one.”[1]
Know you are loved today!
