Psalm 3v1-5
O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah. But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah. I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

Let us be aware of the world around us and understand as believers our true home is in eternity with God and not this world that is fallen. When our priorities are set in Jesus our lives go against the world we live in and it gets tough. But we must look to the Lord for He is our shield from the arrows of the enemy and our deliverer for each and every new day. Let us take this verse as great encouragement to have faith in His power and change the world around us making incredible use of the gift of life God has given us.
