Holding my Head Up – Lectio Divina

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; 
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. Psalm 3:3 (NLT)

The one who holds my head high

Yes, hold my head up, Lord

I walk around with my head lowered in shame

   My head heavy with shame from my sins and failure to obey.

Lowering my head in humble realization who I am and who You really are.

My chin touching my chest aching with battle fatigue from the world’s demands.

Bu You, Lord, rescue me.

You come to me –

    You wrapped your loving arms around me

         You provide strength and protection

               You hold my head up high.

You tell me don’t be ashamed.

You reassure me I am Your child

And nothing will come between us.

Not by my strength

   Not by my power,

      Not by my will

         But You,

           Only You.

You, Lord, hold my head high as a child of God.
