But You O Lord!

 ^{Psalms 3:3-4}

³ But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,  My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
⁴ I cried to the Lord with my voice,  And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

   In the first session on Psalms 3 we mentioned that Psalms 3 was a "Calming Psalm". WOW, we really need that right now. David was faced with one of the worse heartaches of his life. His son, Absalom betrayed him and stole his kingdom away from him. David left with his head down, feeling like he had gone through a sausage press. Even his "friends" were telling him that God had forsaken him and couldn't help him now. How is that for friends? David cries out to his God being upfront about his feelings and hurts. He was being "REAL!"  

Then we come to verse 3 which is an amazing verse. David takes his eyes off from his so called friends and turns his eyes on the one true God. I love those first 4 words, "BUT YOU, O LORD!!!" 

Everything and everybody may be giving you a hard time - But You, O Lord!" 

You may be going through some rough waters with the waters up to your neck - But You, O Lord! 

It may seem like world is falling apart and nothing is going your way - But You O Lord!!!

You may be tired of social separation and all the Corona Virus news...  But You, O Lord!!!

David then lists several ways that God was there for him....

  This week when you start to doubt and fear - turn your eyes on the Lord and say with David....   
"BUT YOU, O LORD!!!"
