names of God: Buckler

names of God: Buckler by ric gustafson


Psalm 18:30- ' He is a buckler to all those that trust in him'


This term refers to God the Father. A buckler was a small shield that was made of leather with brass or iron decorations. In this passage, King David is referring to God as the buckler. Soldiers had large shields to hide behind to avoid arrows or spears. In hand to hand combat, a buckler could deflect a sword and do a blow to the enemy. When storms in life get really tough, we need someone to stand between us and our enemy. God as the Buckler will be before us protecting us from the enemy.
