PSALM 3

Excited about Psalm 3 :) Let's get to readin'!!

PSALM 3

"Lord how my foes increase. There are many who attack me! Many say about me, "The is no help for him in God." But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from His holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the Lord sustains me. I am not afraid of the thousands of people who have taken their stand against me on every side. Rise up, Lord! Save me, my God! You strike all my enemies on the cheek; You break the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongs to the Lord; may Your blessing be on Your people."

This is appropriate for a quiet time :)
I guess I personally don't feel like I have individuals who are attacking me and putting me down, but there are definitely situations in life where I feel put down. Moments when I feel hopeless and like there is nothing I can do to rise above what I'm facing.
This is so encouraging to me. God is my protector. He will fight for me if I ask and will always be there to guard and protect me to defeat those moments of hopelessness!!! I have to remember that he is the reason behind every little move I make. Even something simple like lying down to sleep is because the Lord allows me too. The reason why I wake is because He sustains me. I can face a new day with new battles because the Lord is my strength. And He knows I need it. I am so grateful to have a relationship with my Lord and Savior that I literally can count on for everything little thing in my life. I would truly be lost without Him.
