NIV 365 / God Lifts You Up

The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading Plan

Day 233 of 365 God Lifts You Up 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. Taken from Once a Day Bible Promises Psalms 3:3 Psalms 3:3 KJV 3 But thou, O Lord , art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
