shield

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

"The LORD is your shield. He’s not your shield in theory. You have a relationship with a shield that shows up and protects you in the midst of today’s battle. Do you believe this? The LORD is also your glory. He’s also the lifter of your head. Belief is being able to see through your circumstances to a deeper reality. Do you believe the LORD can lift your head, even today? Do you believe resolved circumstances are the lifter of your head, or is the LORD the lifter of your head? If no enemies and perfect circumstances are the lifter of your head, you’ll be looking down most of your life. If the LORD is the lifter of your head, you can face anything."
