My glory and the one who lifts up my head

Lord, how they have increased who trouble me. Many are they who rise up against me
Many are they who say of me, there is no help for him in God.
But you Oh Lord are a shield for me,
My glory and the one who lifts up my head
I cried to the Lord with my voice
And he heard me from His holy hill
I lay down and slept I awoke for he Lord sustained me
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
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.

Psalm 3:1-7


Have mercy on me and hear my prayer

Hear me when I call Oh God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4:1


The Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly

How long O you sons of men will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; the Lord will hear when I call to him
Psalm 4:2-3


Meditate within your heart

Be angry and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord
Psalm 4:4-5


Gladness in my heart
You have put gladness in my heart more than in the season when their grain and wine increased.
Psalm 4:7


Salvation belongs to the Lord

Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon your people.
Psalm 3: 8

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
