Yours alone

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace my they be covered who seek my hurt.
But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation
all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone - Psalm 71:12-16

All we have, our great prize in adversity, prosperity, trial and glory.
The mighty, righteous deeds of God. The mightiest and most righteous being the death
of the Son of God on a Roman cross, 2000 years ago to absorb the wrath of God and redeem
a people for His OWN good pleasure.

Praise the Lord that He is the centre of all, and that He lovingly shows us that it is all about Him and we His children are simply the blessed individuals who obtain a small role in HIStory.

Deliverance

Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has not kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.
For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.
You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance - Psalm 67:8-12
