But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
These words were spoken by David during a time when he was in distress. He fled from his son Absalom. Notwithstanding what he was going through, David confided in God and encouraged himself knowing who and what God meant to him.
Your Loving Father is for you a shield. He protects you on every side. He is your glory - He puts true honour upon you. But more excitingly, He is your joy and deliverer. He is the one that lifts up your head out of troubles, and restores you in due time.
Are you going through a period where you feel you cannot lift up your head all by yourself? Do you sometimes feel like you have a shortcoming in an area where God is yet to come through for you? Do not be discouraged. As a child of God, you can lift up your head with joy, knowing that all shall work together for your good. Your Loving Father will give you reason to rejoice. He is the lifter of your head.
Prayer: My Loving Father, I glorify You and give You honour today. You are a shield for me. You are my glory and the lifter of my head. Thank You, Father. Thank You for protection, safety, honour and deliverance. Be exalted and glorified my Father, for who You are. Amen.
