"JESUS, THE LIFTER OF OUR HEAD!"

Have you ever had days when you just "know", without question, that you have "heard clearly" from God and that you are "right where you should be." You are in a place of confidently resting in and on Him..You feel excited in your walk with Him..Then....
The next day, as soon as you are up and moving, the enemy comes in and "unsettles your settledness." Robs you of your joy..distorts the vision God has given you..and you begin to question...."Have I heard correctly or I did create the dream, the vision..is this place I occupy of my own choosing?"
Well, this is one of the ways the enemy tries to use to "take my focus off of Jesus." Satan will use anything or anyone to take me off balance, to "shake the land on which I have chosen to stand." The choice made out of knowing it is the right thing to do..made out of obedience to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..
The enemy comes in this way because he knows that most of the places we are in require our occupancy for a while...and in the choosing to occupy..we get tired..we grow weary...Weary in doing well...
This morning, I chose to read Psalms and there were a couple of scriptures that encouraged me to get my focus right back to where it needed to be..Back on the "ONE" who has already endured everything that I will ever have to go through.The only vision that matters and that shows me the way through and upwards.
I would like to share His word with you:


Psalm 3:3-4 (nkjv)
"But You, oh Lord, are a shield for me, my Glory and the Lifter of my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill."   Selah (pause and think about that)
Psalm 5:11-12 (nkjv)
"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend (protect,cover) them;Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield."  
Just now, as I am writing this, I am reminded of another scripture..that speaks, ever so clearly of the place our focus needs to remain...
Psalm 121 (nkjv)
 " I will lift my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? My help comes from the lord who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved (slip); He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper (protector); The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve (keep) you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve (keep) your going out and your coming in, From this time forth, and even forevermore."
"Lord Jesus, I thank You that as we trust and lean on You, that you bring our focus right back to where it needs to be..Looking upward to You...Oh Lifter of our head, we love You.'
Blessings in Jesus Name,
