Often we need the reminders. None of us are perfect. None of us have arrived.
What I do know is that is we have all been in some difficult places. Situations are often out of our control where we have to choose to move forward or step aside. It can be a difficult decision.
Some of those times we think we are stuck, being in desperate places or even trapped by something or someone. The good news is we have a God who cares and loves us, rescues and restores.
From Psalm 3 I find some of those truths that we need to take to heart, hold tightly to and to share with others. Read on…
Psalms 3 NLT
O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. 2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. 4 I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain. 5 I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. 6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. 7 Arise, O Lord! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked! 8 Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people.
When situations are tough or my enemies are working, God is my shield who protects me.
When we cry out to God, He answers us and gives us peace while removing fear.
When we are not in control and cannot see when victory or an end might come, we can rest in the fact that God is in control and victory comes from God.
Trust God. Take some time to look at this chapter from the Bible, and so many others, that reminds us we are not alone and that God is more than enough.
