2 Samuel 22:36
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
The gentle support of salvation shields us, giving us strength and humility. Divine gentleness is a gift that nurtures and protects us, elevating our lives and strengthening our spirits. This gentle care transforms us, grounding us in a humility that reminds us of our reliance on something greater than ourselves. In recognizing this shield of salvation, we find a source of quiet strength that sustains us in trials, empowering us to stand firm. This gentle strength is not passive; it is active, providing the foundation upon which our courage and faith are built. By embracing this gentleness, we are reminded of the tenderness of divine love, which strengthens without overpowering, and lifts us up without diminishing others. This shield becomes a source of resilience, allowing us to walk confidently and humbly, knowing that we are supported by a grace that empowers us in every challenge we face. Each step in this gentleness of faith is a testimony to the power of humility and the strength it brings to our lives.
