You Are A Shield About Me

Today I am doing Psalm 3.  It seems appropriate as I had a conversation with two friends today, at different times, and some of what is spoken of in this Psalm, speaks to the battles they are in right now.  I love you my friends.  I pray this encourages you, as you read it and apply it to your hearts.

Psalm 3

Lord, How they are increased who trouble me!  Many are they who rise up against me.

Many are saying of me, There is no help for him/her in God. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill.  Selah [pause, and calmly think of that].

I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!  For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek:  You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessings be upon Your people.  Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Hallelujah!  The battle is the Lords.  I pray for victory!  I pray for vindication!  I pray for God to bring forth His Power in your midst, to deliver you from the jaws and snares of the enemy.  This is for all my dear friends who are going through battles that only God can win.  I love you dear ones.  God bless you with HIS blessings.
