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.
Beautiful image Jean. I get peace just from reading this. Clella
Beautiful! I need that holy hand and reassurance-even when I don’t know that I do!
Thanks Karen and Colleen. When I write these from my heart, peace and clarity seems to increase.
Thanks for these weekly lectio divina posts. They give me food for thought and prayer. God bless!
I love the image of Him holding our head! Good thoughts for today.
