I trust in you for Safety

I trust in you for Safety

Protect me O God, I trust in you for safety,
I say to the Lord, you are my Lord
All the good things I have come from you
How excellent are the Lord’s faithful people
My greatest pleasure is to be with them

Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves
I will not take part in their sacrifices
I will not worship their gods

The Lord are all I have, and you give me all I need
My future is in your hands
How wonderful are your gifts to me, how good they are
I praise the Lord, because he guides me
And in the night my conscience warns me
I am always aware of the Lord’s presence
He is near and nothing can shake me
So I am thankful and glad, I feel completely secure
Because you protect me from the power of death
I have served you faithfully and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.

Psalm 16:1-10

Path that leads to life

You will show me the path that leads to life
Your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever
Psalm 16:11.





The Lord alone is God

God alone is our defence
He makes me sure-footed as a deer
He keeps me safe on the mountains
He trains me for battle
So that I can use the strongest bow
Psalm18: 31-35


Your care has made me great

Oh Lord you protect me and save me
Your care has made me great
And your power has kept me safe
Psalm 18:35


You have kept me from being captured
You have kept me from being captured
And I have never fallen
I pursue my enemies and catch them
I do not stop until I destroy them
I strike them down and they cannot rise
They lie defeated before me
Psalm 18:36-38

You gave me strength for battle

You give me strength for the battle and victory over my enemies
You make my enemies run from me
I destroy those who hate me
They cry for help but no one saves them
They call to the Lord but he does not answer
I crush them so that they become like dust which the wind blows away
I trample on them like mud in the streets.

Psalm 18 39-42

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro...

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence...
