But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. ~ Psalm 3:2-3 (NLT)
A man who had a skin disease came to Jesus. On his knees he begged Jesus. He said, “If you are willing to make me ‘clean,’ you can do it.” Jesus became angry. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing to do it,” Jesus said. “Be ‘clean’!” ~ Mark 1:40-41 (NIRV)
Lord,
THANKS: Thank you for healing us -- for restoring our dignity as human beings.
REGRETS: I'm way too casual about trusting you to do the really hard things -- like healing and restoring us so that we are clean. I don't think so much about these things until they are right in front of my face.
INTERCESSION: Help me to trust you for more areas of my life.
PURPOSE: I'm going to live confidently knowing that you have your shield wrapped around me.
Amen.
