The Lifter of my head

Have you ever had troubles? I would dare say that we all have. We have all been troubled with health problems, family problems, financial problems, and the list goes on and on. There are times when it feels as if one problem arises before we can find a solution to the previous one; they seem to just compound and multiply.

During these times that troubles come, and they will again and again, I try to remember that what ever I am going through I am not going through alone. We know that GOD is with us no matter where and no matter what. We know that He has a way, and that He is working all things for our good. Hard to remember when we are in the midst of the troubled times but it is still 100% true.

Today's word is Psalm 3:3, NASB, which reads, "But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One Who lifts my head."

When we are in the midst of the turmoil, GOD is our shield. He is protecting us from the fiery darts of the enemy. It may feel as if the storm is raging and that the onslaught is relentless but GOD is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. His strength will sustain us through the battle and carry us to the ultimate victory.

And, don't miss the second part of today's word, "...and the One Who lifts my head." When we are down, when we are struggling, when we are just trying to trudge along, GOD lifts our head so that we can see our victory, His glory. Just as we take our down-trodden loved one by the chin and lift his/her head, GOD will lift our depressed heads, and say, "I Love You." He is my shield and the Lifter of my head.

Be Blessed,
