Psa3:3
But You are a shield around me, O Lord, You bestow glory on me and lift up my head

As I was doing my quiet time today, the Lord gave me this verse., psa 3:3. Before that, I was actually praying, praying for my family and myself. These 2 days, it has been quite chaotic at home, there were conflicts and misunderstandings going around between my parents and brother. I was affected indirectly though I wasnt involved.. I felt angry especially towards my parents. On the inside, I was blaming them for all the unhappiness which they had created. Therefore, my heart was burdened by all these unhappiness and worries. I felt troubled, resentful and unhappy.. it seemd like my joy has been robbed away.. left with nothing! I may seemd alright on the surface but I am struggling inside. I told myself.. I want peace, I want my joy back. God.. I cried out to Him.. and He hears me when I prayed during my qt. Indeed, in psa 3:3, He is the shield around me, someone who protects me and I'd hide under His wings. In time like this, I chose to hide in His presence. It also taught me one thing, its about making choices, when troubles come, who do we run to? how often do we turn to God? thats something we can reflect on? Once again, He assured me of His love, Cor 13:7 It (Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevere.
thank God! I am secured by Your love.
