Zephaniah 3:13 - The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
This is one of my favorite scriptures. Yes, our God is mighty to save. Yes, He rejoices over those who seek Him and ask for His protection. It starts when we receive Him and He saves us from our sins, when we turn from the world and turn to Jesus. Psalm 21:4 - He asked life from You, and You gave it to him--Length of days forever and ever. This is eternal life in Christ. Then the lifetime of His protection is available to us.
Look at the analogies regarding His protection:
Our strong tower (Psalm 61:3)...we can run to Him and enter
The cleft of the rock (Exodus 33:22)...He is our Rock
Under His wings (Psalm 91:4)...we can gather there spiritually like a chick to its mother
Call out the name of Jesus (James 4:7)...and the devil must flee
The sword of the spirit is God's Word (Ephesians 6:17)...brings life to those who wield it and death to those who reject it. We thank Him for His life-giving Word...both the book and Jesus, the Word.
We have all these and the complete and perfect protection if we just have the faith to believe He is and can do these things.
He saves with His right hand: Psalm 20:6 - Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.
He hears us when we call: Psalm 20:9 - Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.
We will joy in Your strength through the salvation You bring (Psalm 21:1), just as You, the One who is mighty to save, rejoices over us when we seek You.
Psalm 21:13 - Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
