From the Hand of God, To His People

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

He is a shield around His children. He protects them from evil, but has not yet removed them from an evil world. One day His children will be with Him in heaven and the evil will be removed forever. No more pain. No more suffering. No more tears.

He is the glory of His children. He has adopted into His family those who believe in Jesus Christ and trust Him as Lord. We are now His sons and daughters and our home is with Him in glory.

He is the lifter of our heads. When we are discouraged or overwhelmed by the world around us, we simply need to look up to Jesus. He will not necessarily take us out of our troubles, but He will give us the power to victoriously pass through them. He will cause everything to work out for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
