Today I thought  I'd  do  something a little  different with the  blog today  by    breaking down  Psalm 3:3  a bit  and  sharing  some  of the  things that  stood  out to me  when I read it in my  personal quite time.   Also,   if  you  find a  few  jewels  within the  verse  yourself  comment  below  please  share.  I'd love to see what  God brought to your attention.  Ok so let's  get  into it.

I Declare That:  The Lord is my  shield ,   I can  take  refuge in His  presence , I can  take  comfort  and stand  firm on your  word.   There is  no  area of our  lives  where you   cannot  reach  and bring about  amazing  change.   With you nothing is  impossible, no matter what  we  go  through you are  are able to meet us there.  No  matter  how  often we  feel like   giving  up,  you  are able to  give us  the nudge and  confidence to keep moving  forward.  

His Glory:  We will  see  the Glory    of  the  Lord in every area of  our lives.  In  His sovereignty    we  are  free   and  we  have  victory over  every  attack of the enemy.   Every  attempt  to  confuse us or  distract  us from  God's  purpose  for  our life  is defeated  because once  the Lord  starts a work in us  He will see it  through to it's  completion. 

He  Restore's Me:    When  we are  broken  from  events in our lives that have   left us   feeling  defeated , lost and without any  options; God  is  able to  Restore those areas of our lives.  We  can  take  comfort   in the  fact  that   the    pain we  endured wasn't  in  vain.  God  is  able  to   use   our  circumstances to  build  our  faith  and strengthen us  so  that  in the future we  won't bend so quickly.   We  will be   confident  in the fact that  no matter what,  the  Lord    is  able to  build us  up  again  in spite  of   how  broken we  feel  in that moment  because  we know  from experience that   His  grace  is  sufficient!

9 He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.” So I’ll gladly spend my time bragging about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power can rest on me.    2 Corinthians 12:9 (CEB)

Read  Psalms  3:3  and  in the comments  below  tell me  what stood  out to you.

Love,
