Psalm 3

My focus was mostly in the area of 3-5 but I read the whole chapter. Today I am feeling as though I took a misstep with God and these verses encourage me. The truth is I did what I felt led to do by God, so my feelings are misleading. That is the trouble with following your feelings, they can be manipulated and faked.
By acknowledging that the Lord is a shield around me I am acknowledging that I need protection. Just like salvation it is a free gift, however I feel as though you should still be aware of you need for protection so that you don't take it for granted. There are so many things in my daily life that I am protected from without my knowledge. It seems so trivial then when I whine and complain that I feel left alone and unprotected without knowing how much He truly is protecting me from.
Thank you God for protecting me against the unknown.

How often do I forget that God is a shield around me. That's something that could definitely enhance my boldness and contentment as I go through each day! Thanks for bringing the money posts Waldo
