Psalm 3:3

3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

I want to be strong. I want my kids to see me as invincible and the one they can run to in any trouble. I want to be Captain America, but I’m not. Really, I’m more like the scared kid than the invincible dad. That’s why this verse means so much to me.

I am the scared kid, but I have an invincible Dad. God is a shield about me, total protection. He reminds me that He has made me His child. God lifts up my head when it droops from fatigue and discouragement. That’s just how good He is when I go to Him. Commit today to look to Him for your security, your satisfaction, and your identity.

Prayer prompt: Lord, let me look to you to lift my head, to be a strong shield around me.
