I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
Lifter up?
Yeah. Like this:
“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head” (Psalm 3:3).
For when I’m under attack.
For when I have failed in my pride.
For when I’m cast down and humiliated.
My shield, my glory, my lifter.
Just what I need; exactly what I need!
![[The Scriptures say in Psalm 3:8 -- Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people]](/pantinghart/wp-content/salvation-and-blessing.jpg "God's Word says: Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people (Psalm 3:8)")
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
I love this Psalm!
And right now it is — as “they” say — so for me.
“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).
“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek” (Psalm 27:8).
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13).
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).
Oh, yeah?
Yes!
(But I still forget. Oh, how I forget!) 🙁
