Psalm 3, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #237 & 238

MEMORY VERSE: "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against each other. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Colossians 3:13

NOTES: LORD, how many are my foes! 

   How many rise up against me!
² Many are saying of me,
   “God will not deliver him.”^[b]

 ³ But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
   my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
⁴ I call out to the LORD,
   and he answers me from his holy mountain.

 ⁵ I lie down and sleep;
   I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
⁶ I will not fear though tens of thousands
   assail me on every side.

 ⁷ Arise, LORD!
   Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
   break the teeth of the wicked.

 ⁸ From the LORD comes deliverance.
   May your blessing be on your people.

(v.3) Reminded me of Ephesians 6:14-18, which talks about the armor of God:
-Belt of truth buckled around your waist
-Breastplate of righteousness
-Helmet of salvation
-Shield of faith
-Feet fitted with the readiness that come from the gospel of peace
-Sword of God
I don't think that's the exact order that Paul mentions it, but I think I got all the armor down. Anyways, I think that Psalm 3 connects with Ephesians 6 in that both passages emphasize how we are, in essence, in a constant spiritual battle against Satan. Not only are we fighting our own flesh & sinful ways, but (as David writes), it's expected that Christians will face opposition from the world as we try to live out the will of God. Yet, we don't have to fear the "tens of thousands" because ultimately we are fighting with the armor of GOD. Hallelujah!
