August 3, 2025, Psalm 3:1-8

Lord, how many are my foes!
    Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
    “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
    my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord,
    and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

I lay down and slept;
    I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
    who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Lord!
    Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the Lord;
    your blessing be on your people! Selah

Trust God!  The overlying theme here is a cry for help in the midst of trouble, hardship and persecution.  

Who will you trust when facing hardship?  When fear, anxiety and sleeplessness consume us, God is our are only hope.  Experience God and embrace his promise to be our shield.
