Bible Passage
Psalm 3:1-8(NKJV)

3:2. Many [are] they who say of me, “[There is] no help for him in God.” Selah
3:3. But You, O LORD, [are] a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
3:4. I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

3:6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set [themselves] against me all around.
3:7. Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

STUDY
Our text today is directly linked to 2 Samuel 15, where David fled from his son, Absalom, who tried to kill him and take over his throne. Despite the hardship and having to run for his life, David kept his faith in God and prayed for deliverance. Verse 1 tells us David’s enemies were formidable and great in number.
They were very confident, even saying that God would not deliver him. But the psalmist called to remember how God had delivered him in the past (verses 3-6). This led him to a great assertion of faith in God’s protection (Psalm 27:3; 23:4). From this assertion, he declared his desire for God to strike down all his enemies.
Though not stated, this would silence their mockery. He ended by declaring that deliverance comes from God, who blesses his people.
Have you ever found yourself at a point in life where you are beaten and discouraged? Beloved, be assured that God is a shield around you; his banner over you is love. He is your glory, the lifter up of your head, and always answers when you call on him. Ifwe believe in God, thereis no dead end.
Turn to God in faith and trust Him, just as David did, for with God all things are possible(Matthew 19:26)
Conclusion
Beloved, no matter how fierce the battles of life may seem or how overwhelming the opposition, remember that God can deliver. David’s experience reminds us that our God is a shield, our glory, and the lifter of our heads. When we place our faith in Him, we can sleep in peace and wake up in strength, knowing He sustains us.
The mockery and doubts of others do not limit God’s power. Salvation belongs to Him alone, and He is faithful to bless and rescue those who trust in Him. Whatever challenges you face today, call upon the Lord with confidence, and He will rise to fight for you and put your enemies to shame.
Trust in His deliverance and walk in the assurance that with God, there is no dead end. May He arise on your behalf and grant you victory in every area of your life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, arise for my help this day and put my enemies to shame, Amen!
