In this episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin continues our series of discussions on "favorite verses," walking us through the powerful truths found in Psalm 3, a psalm submitted by one of our listeners and born out of David’s darkest hours as he fled from his son, Absalom. Pastor Justin explores the raw emotions and deep trust expressed in these verses, showing how David turns fear into faith by anchoring his hope in God’s protection and deliverance. Through this rich exposition, listeners are invited to see how even in seasons of betrayal, anxiety, or defeat, God remains a shield around His people.

The heart of Psalm 3 is the bold declaration that "salvation belongs to the Lord." This truth offers believers unshakable confidence that victory doesn’t depend on our strength, but on God’s unfailing grace. Whether you're walking through personal trials or simply seeking encouragement in your faith, this episode reminds us that the same God who sustained David is the One who lifts our heads today. Tune in and be strengthened by the assurance that in every trial, our salvation—and our victory—comes from the Lord.
