As I began my day this morning I started off by reading Psalm 103, focusing on the highlighted scriptures below. I know this seems to be all over the place in one chapter but these are the things that I felt applied to my life and the things that I’m personally dealing with in continuing to develop my relationship with God. I felt the need to share this morning that regardless of what’s going on in our lives remember to continue to praise God no matter what’s going on in your lives. Always remember the benefits of being a Child of God and remind the devil of them on a daily basis!!!!
While listening to my online Praise and Worship I heard a song that Byron Cage sings “Thou Art A Shield For Me” This really touched me because I’ve been going through so much lately and I desperately needed to be reminded that regardless of what’s going on in my life I have a shield and protection from whatever the devil may try to bring up against me. I also was very moved because lately I’ve felt like I’ve been walking and dealing with things with my head down and my eyes looking toward the ground instead of looking up and being focused on God. During the vamp of the song they continued to say, Thank you for lifting my head.
So I say to you, Thank God for lifting your head from anything that may be distracting you from looking towards the hill from where you help, healing, deliverance, strength, and blessings come from.
Psalm 103
1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Thou Art A Shield For Me From the album "Byron Cage"
Lord how are they increased that trouble me
Many are they that rise up against
there be that say of my soul
There is no help for him in God.
But thou oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory, you lift my head
But thou oh Lord are a shield for me
You're my glory, the lifter up of my head.
I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And he heard me out of his Holy hill.
I laid me down... and I slept
I wait for the Lord to save me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
That set themselves against me round about
Thank you for lifting my head
Thank you for lifting my head
Thank you for lifting my head
