Psalm 3:3
But You, O Lord, are a shield 1for me,
My glory and cthe One who lifts up my head.
The New King James Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1982, S. Ps 3:3
This verse struck me a while ago and I have not been able to get it out of my head.
As parents when we scold our children for what they have done wrong and they put their heads down and they won’t look us in the eye, or as a kid when we were so saddened by the way we were picked on in school and our parents came into our rooms and tried their hardest what is the one thing they would do. Whether it is shame or sadness or some other emotion there are times when we don’t want to look others in the eyes.
However those who are closest to us mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, Spouses or friends that come along side of us in very dark times and lift our head to look them in the eyes. That is the relationship God has with David. Your boss wouldn’t lift your head up if you were sad (ok maybe if you were great friends) but my point is that God’s relationship is so deep with David that they have that father son Relationship not dictator-subject relationship! And we can have that kind of relationship with God too! How amazing is that!!!!
