“Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head”\u00a0<\/em>(Psalms 3:2-3\u00a0KJV)<\/p>\n

You have every reason to lift up your head and your heart.<\/p>\n

I know there are times when you feel like throwing up your hands in despair thinking that all is lost and gloomy. There are times when the challenges of everyday living seem insurmountable. There are seasons when we feel overwhelmed and helmed in. These are the seasons during which the lights are low and the crowds are thin. The dark moments when no one is watching except those waiting to say that there is no help in God for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But I have an announcement for you today; God is your glory and the lifter up of your head. Lift up your head because Jehovah is a shield unto you. He will keep and sustain you. He shall never leave you to yourself.<\/p>\n

The Lord shall rise early and defend you. The wicked one shall not exactly upon you. God will show up and defend you. Keep hope alive! Amen<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Prayer<\/h5>\n

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. <\/em>Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. <\/em>Selah. <\/em><\/p>\n

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. <\/em>I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. <\/em><\/p>\n

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. <\/em>I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. <\/em><\/p>\n

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.\u00a0<\/em>Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah<\/em>. (Psalms 3:1-8 KJV)<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/em><\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
