Read Psalm 3 – Get God’s Word in! For your good and God’s glory, read your bible. Life is so chaotic. Many things and many thoughts happen beyond our control. Setting your mind on the glory, love, power and compassion of the LORD will strengthen you for the trials of life. The more you know and love the LORD, the easier it is to lead your life with peace, joy and wisdom.
David is in one of those trials where things are rising up against him. (:1) It would be normal human nature to let his thoughts run rampant with what his enemies are doing, but he calls on the name of the LORD, “But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.”
Verse :5 is a powerhouse. Sleep is one of the most challenging things when your heart is riled up, yet David says, “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.” Try that as your mantra the next time you find yourself sleepless with worries. David did not lie down and analyze his problems; he spoke victory over them with the pure truth that the LORD sustains him.
Beloved, thank you for showing up today and setting your heart on things above.
