You are my shield, my fortress, my everlasting help in time on need

But you are a shield around me, O Lord;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
He answers me from his holy hill.
I wake again because the Lord sustains me.
From the Lord comes deliverance.

I really need this reminder. Reminder after reminder that God is in charge, sovereign, and is very much involved in my life.
I really need to hear that God is in control.
I need to hear that God is really active in my life.
I need to hear that He is a shield around me.
Why?
There are times when I feel insecure.
There are times when I cry out to God, feeling overwhelmed by life.
There are times when I wake up wondering how life will all work out.
There are times when I feel alone (even though I’m not)…

Today, I read in my Bible these important words: 'From the Lord.'
What good news!
Because what I need to deal with this life is not going to come from within me.
Today, I am depending on what I get 'From the Lord'.

Abba Father, I may feel weak but You are strong. You are enough.
