Genesis - 15:1 Meaning
“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
15:1 God assured Abram of safety and happiness; that he should for ever be safe. I am thy shield; or, I am a shield to thee, present with thee, actually caring for thee. The consideration that God himself is, and will be a shield to his people, to secure them from all evils, a shield ready to them, and a shield round about them, should silence all perplexing, tormenting fears.
“They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.”
