"But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head." Psalm 3:3
A history lesson from David, a king in whom God delighted, that benefits us all!
It is easy to forget it is our Father that always protects us against the evil one instead of by our own efforts. Our ego and pride can easily get in the way of trusting Him in all we do. It's easy to trust in our own strength when we have victories, as did David; we trust in our own insights into Him. There is temptation to stop being truly humble, pull our heads down and follow our own instincts. Yet, David says we must continue to let our Father lift our heads to Him to see what He would have us do! David demonstrates it in his own life and records it in his writings.
In Psalms 3, 4 and 5 David talks about relying on the LORD. He says his foes believed he would not be saved by his reliance upon God. It becomes easy to rely upon ourselves when we are attacked and God gives us victory over our enemies ... we are children of God who has promised us great strength and abundance and victory over our adversaries! This is a great truth we all should trust. David was a king that Scripture says had a heart for God, one in whom our Father delighted in. David was a very victorious king, having victory after victory because of his trust in God.
Psalm 6 (and 13) describe anguish. David let his society and passions dictate his actions; he had one of his trusted followers killed because he forgot to lift his head to God. He became weak in his victories; he gloried in his success, he "looked" at Bathsheba and had Uriah killed so he could have his own way. He trusted in the successes God had given him and became prideful, feeling he deserved what he wanted, or could get.
Let us humbly keep our heads lifted to our Father; the LORD forgave David when David again listened to God (when Nathan rebuked him, he acknowledged his sin and repented). What a humbling lesson we all can learn from! Let us let God lift our heads today, and praise Him for His everlasting love for us! This is where our shield continues to come into action, our Father protecting us against pride and our adversary/adversaries.
Read Psalms 3,4, 5 and Psalms 6 and 13; also 2 Samuel 11 and 12 for more illumination.

Stacey and I are reading the Book of Mormon together every day. It helps me a lot, and I've really enjoyed times to meditate on a morning, before going to work.

Excerpt from:
trumpetcallofgodonline.com/index.php5?title=A_Great_Forsa...
And thus I speak it through My servants, once again: Teachers of My word,
all you modern pharisees, have you not failed in teaching yourselves?...
You who preach that a man should not steal, have you not robbed your God
and stolen from My children? And you who say, *“Do not commit adultery,”* have
you not committed adultery with the pagans and the heathen, by your
traditions and holidays? You who abhor idols, have you not formed for
yourselves many, even recreating ME in your own image? And you who boast of
your own righteousness, have you not forgotten My Sabbaths and abandoned
The Moral Law, even teaching men so?... *I tell you the truth, you have
dishonored Me, for you profane My Law without ceasing!*
Behold, the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as
it is written. For you preach to the multitudes that they should not bear
false witness, yet you have testified falsely against all those I have sent
to you, even judging within yourselves that you are righteous, lying to
yourselves... *For you do fight against Me.*
You edify My flock in your own names, using the false doctrines of men,
then in that self-same hour you boast one to the other, saying, *“Look how
I have gained so much knowledge in the Word”,* all the while forsaking the
cause of the widow and the fatherless, and spitting upon the poor, labeling
them according to your own false judgment, according to your own false
righteousness...
*Assuredly, I say to you, your righteousness is foul! Like menstruous rags,
it is fit only to be cast out and buried beneath the earth! *Or have you
forgotten what the Scriptures say?...
*There is One Righteous, even The Son of Man, Yeshua The Messiah, also
called Jesus and Christ! YahuShua HaMashiach is His name! He, alone, is
righteous!... HE IS THE LORD, YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS! Says The Lord God. *
*Therefore I call you to repent in His name, My children... *
*To repent in sincerity and truth, to seek My face, *
*To forsake all which you think you know **And truly humble yourselves
before your God.*
