Mid-Week Text

 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. Psalms 3:3 NKJV

The last phrase in the verse is the one that stood out to me when I read it this week. I immediately thought of my morning walks with my 2 dogs. My intent is to use that time to pray.

Physically, my gaze is looking straight ahead and at times I look down at the ground and at my surroundings. But less so, am I drawn to look up. When I do, I believe it's God causing me to do so as a reminder of who is hovering over me as my shield and provider.  The beauty of the sky, even when it's gray and overcast, is a reminder of Who has and deserves the glory. And that apart from Him, I have no glory of my own.

I'm sure you see the parallel to everyday life. Our focus is more straight ahead and down and less looking up to The Glorious One who imparts His Glory to us and surrounds us as His Shield.

Be humbled and blessed as you bless The Lord and others!
