God Lifts You Up
You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
Psalm 3:3
As you survey your life, what situation seems most hopeless to you?

Now consider this: When Absalom tried to steal the throne from his father, David may have thought his reign was over. But rather than surrender to his enemies or listen to all the naysayers, David threw himself into the strong arms of God. In his prayer recorded in Psalm 3, David acknowledged the Lord as the ultimate source of protection, honor and restoration.
It’s not just a neat historical anecdote. It’s a promise. God wants to meet us in the depths and raise us to the heights.
Trust him to be your shield.
GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• I am your shield.
• I am your glory.
• I am the one who lifts your head high.
MY PRAYER TO GOD
You are a shield about me, Lord. Keep me from faithlessly and foolishly thinking that my life or my future is in jeopardy. You are my glory and the one who lifts my head.
