Psalm 3:3-4
But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
You are my shield and my glory....wait, I have glory? This speck of human frailty and insecurity, prone to wandering and sinning, this seemingly insignificant and indistinguishable bit of humanity – has glory?
Yes, my child. I am your glory. I lift your head. I know you and love you. I will answer you. I am with you. Be still…, and know that I am your God.
