Genesis 5:1-7:24 ~ Matthew 3:7-4:11 ~ Psalm 3:1-8 ~ Proverbs 1:10-19
Psalm 3 is a huge comfort to me when I face relational distress. David was in a seriously stressful situation when his son, Absalom, rebelled against him (see 2 Samuel 15-16). The title of this Psalm leads us to believe it was written for just such a time. We can know that no matter what trial we may face there is help and salvation in God. He is our shield; He lifts up our heads when we are down. He helps us sleep even when when are being slandered and attacked.
But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
You bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
To the LORD I cry aloud,
And he answers me from his holy hill.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.Psalm 3:3-5 (NIV)
Today, as an act of worship, depend on the Lord. Lean on Him at all times. Live in such a way that He is your source of strength, courage, and confidence.
I love the song, "Thou O Lord" written by Lisa Ireland and arranged by Carol Cymbala as performed by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. It is one of my all-time favorite worship songs for choir. I hope you'll take five minutes and worship along with them in the video below. (You won't be disappointed!)
