The Lord
Is The
Upholder
Of My Life
Save me, O God, by your name, and
vindicate me by your might. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my
mouth.
For the insolent have risen against
me, the ruthless seek my life; they do not set God before them. Selah
But surely, God is my helper; the Lord
is the upholder of my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. In your
faithfulness, put an end to them.
With a freewill offering I will
sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. For
he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my
enemies.
When you are facing times of trouble
there are some simple truths to follow. Trust God to do His job, and hang on
with all your strength. In some respects it is like water-skiing. Trust the
boat to pull you out of the water, be strong and hang on. You will enjoy a
great ride. The same is true in our walk with Jesus.
When life has you down – whether
through sorrow that seems too hard to bear or circumstances that make each day
and night a grind, pray. Let God pull you up with His power. Then hold onto His
hand. Cling to Him and be strong.
Trust His power and hold on. He will
give you the strength to keep from falling.
Those who wait
upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
