      Psal 3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. {for: or, about}

      David was a man of war and appreciated the value of a shield against assaults of the enemy. Listen to his testimony: "Thou art my Shield!" What a note of confidence! He alone is sufficient to shield us from Satan and his cohorts --- foes within and foes without. It is in such conditions that we need to rejoice in Him Who is our "Shield". How He loves to answer our call and calm our troubled souls! Let us lift up our heads that we may catch His smile of love.

      Dear Lord, we lay our heads upon Thy shoulder and rejoice in Thy protection. Shield us this day for Thy Name's sake. Amen
