Psalm 3:3 - God Is a Shield Around Us.

Psalm 3:3 (NLT) But you, O LORD, are a 
shield around me; you are my glory, the one who 
holds my head high.  

INTRODUCTION

David was not sitting on his throne in a 
place of power; he was running for his life from 
his rebellious son, Absalom, and a host of 
traitors. When circumstances go against us, we may be 
tempted to think that God also is against us. But 
David reminds us that the opposite is true. When 
everything seems to go wrong, God is still for us. If a 
circumstance has turned against you, don't blame God - 
seek him! [Life Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Perspective Shifts
   God, the head-lifter and 
perspective-shifter, is the one who breathes hope into our weary 
souls. He is the God who breathes on dry bones and 
brings them to life. He is the one who redeems our 
broken dreams and brings new opportunities out of 
the ashes of our defeat. He is never at a loss 
for what to do, and he always has a plan of 
redemption and restoration when we only see death and 
destruction. 
   Instead of giving in to the despair of a 
cruel world, let's allow the Lord to lift our 
heads to meet his eyes. In his eyes we will find 
the love, the grace, and the courage to rise 
again. Through his perspective we are able to see 
what we could not understand on our own. His view 
is greater than our own, and he doesn't miss a 
thing. 
   Ask God to lift your head when you feel 
hopeless. [365 Days of Courage by Sara Perry of
