“But you, God, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high; With all my might I shout up to God, His answers thunder from the holy mountain.”
Psalm 3:3 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
David is fierce in his trust in God’s provision and protection to him. There is physical protection that he speaks of in this verse — shielding him on all sides, grounding his feet, lifting his head high. This is a God who cares about all aspects of our being — our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. May it be that we never fail to remember this.
