THE LORD SHIELDS MY HEAD

Passage: Psalm 140:1~13  

Key verse: 7


1. My strong Deliverer (1-8)

David fought many battles both before and after he became king. Our battles are with the Prince of Darkness, for we are engaged in spiritual warfare. Satan makes war against my soul every day. But the Sovereign Lord is my strong Deliverer. He guides my feet, which are so prone to wander and to lead me into traps. He protects my head--my most vulnerable spot--on the day of battle.

2. Destroy your enemies, O Lord (9-13)

David was attacked both physically and verbally. Satan uses evil rumors and slander to attack God's servants in our times as well. He is an expert in psychological warfare. What can we do? We cannot depend on ourselves, for we are weak. Our weapons are prayer and the word of God. He will surely defend his people and destroy his enemies, for the sake of his name.


Prayer: Lord, you are my guide and my strong Deliverer. Shield my head on the day of battle and cover the heads of your enemies with trouble.

One Word: The Lord will shield my head
