Psalms 3
V1 David's enemies
Old testament people had enemies, but we don't have (Ephe 6:11)
V2 People asking why your God is not helping you.
Now we are also faced by the same question
V3 David's answer
God is my shield,my glory,lifter up of my head
My shield
God has put his protection around Job and his belongings
Job1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
This is because he was just before God
Job1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
God was the shield of Abraham
Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
This is because,He didn't accept which was not from God (Gen 14:22-24)
he gave him tithes of all.(Gen 14:20)
Deuteronomy33: 29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
The same God will be a shield for you,. But. You should be a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Do not accept what is not Godly
Give our tithe
God is my Glory
God is my ,lifter up of my head
God lifted up Jacob
Gen 45:4-8
Brothers betrayed Jacob . He didn't revenge them. He says it is God's plan.
God lifted him from pit,from salvery , from prison, and made him the minister.
God lifted David who is smallest among the brothers. God lifted him from all difficulties in his life.
Luke 13:11-13 the woman could not lift herself for 18 years
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
The same God who lift Jacob , David and the lady, will lift you from all the difficulties in your life.He won't allow you to bow down your head.
Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed
V4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill
The God who hear the cries of his people
Matthew 9:27-29 two blind men following Jesus
Jesus heard their cry. Healed them.
Jesus asked them if they believe that it is possible for him to give them vision.
Today Jesus is asking you , do you believe that Jesus is able to solve your problems.
Surely he will answer your cry.
Psalms 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Psalms 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles
V5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
The God who susutains us
Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
V6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Psalms 91:1-7
Psalms 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

Proverbs 3:21-26
V7 The God who wake up on time

V8. The God who saves and blesses .
2 Corinth 9: 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Summary: David had enemy, we don't have enemy . Our enemy is Satan not people
Many asked David asked why his god is not saving him . Many will ask us also the same question.
David's answer should be our answer. That is who is our God
God is my shield,
my glory
,lifter up of my head
The God who hears the cry of his people
The God who susutains us
The God who saves us from all fears
The God who wake up on time
The God who saves and blesses .
