Psalm 3:3-5
But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, You are my glory, the One Who holds my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy mountain. I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me.
O my Father, You power and Your care for us allow us to experience Your peace to such a degree that David could lie down and sleep in the midst of danger, and sleep peacefully, waking up in safety. Only You, O Lord, could give such peace, for only You have the strength and care for us to give us safety in the midst of peril. Since David could trust You so completely that he could sleep peacefully, even though surrounded by enemies (led by his own son); so I can also trust You for safety no matter what troubles or perils surround me. Thank You, Father, for Your goodness and mercy to me, to mend, heal and cleanse me.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
