" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

{ He shields you & lifts your head high in victory among your enemies. }

“O Lord, I have so many enemies.
Many fight against me and say:
God will never rescue him!

But you O Lord, shield me on all sides and around me;
You are my glory, grounding my feet and holding my head high.
And you give me victory and great honor.”

- Psalm 3:1-3 (WordRemix// NLT, Contempt Eng, Msg)


When David wrote this verse, He was in a very difficult situation – He was actually running for his life from his very own son who wanted to kill him and take over his throne.

Can you imagine?! David was probably feeling overwhelmed, distraught, heartbroken, betrayed and abandoned.

But notice that David didn’t just tell the Lord all about his problems. He told the Lord about his faith when he said, “But You, God, are a shield around me...” David made the choice to focus on God’s goodness no matter what.

We have to remember, circumstances may be tough, but God is working behind the scenes on your behalf.
Things may look impossible today, BUT WITH GOD, all things are possible!

- J. Osteen
