May they disappear like water draining away

Break the teeth of these fierce lions
May they disappear like water draining away
May they be crushed like weeds on a path
May they be like snails that dissolve in slime
May they be like a baby born dead and never see the light
Before they know it, they are cut down
Like weeds in His fierce anger
God will blow them away while they are still living
Psalm 58:6-9




People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded


The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished
They will wade through the blood of the wicked
People will say the righteous are indeed rewarded
There is indeed a God who judges the earth.

Psalm 58: 10-11


Human help is worthless now.


Who Oh God will take me to the fortified city
Who will lead me to Edom?
Have you really rejected us?
Aren’t you going to march out with our armies?
Help us against the enemy
Human help is worthless now.
With God on our side, we will win,
He will defeat our enemies

Psalm 60; 9-12

Let me find safety under your wings


Let me live in your sanctuary all my life
Let me find safety under your wings
You have heard my promises Oh God
And you have given me what belongs to those who honour you.
Add many years to the kings life.
Let him live on and on
Psalm 61 :4-6



My refuge is God, the one who loves me.
But I will sing about your strength
Every morning
I will sing aloud of your constant love
You have been a refuge for me
A shelter in my time of trouble
I will praise you my defender
My refuge is God, the one who loves me.
Psalm 59:16


Protect me from those who attack me

Save me from my enemies, my God,
Protect me from those who attack me
Save me from these evil people
Rescue me from those murderers.
Psalm 59:1-2

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
