It takes a special kind of strength to admit weakness. If you're like me, you're not especially proud of being weak. I make great efforts to disguise the fact that I often don't know what I'm doing. I don't want others to see that I may not be able to accomplish the things I suppose other men can easily do.
Perhaps we can all relate to this. It's like we're programmed to fake it until we make it. Survival of the fittest, not the weakest, right? So let's get fit, project our own confidence, and let the world know, "we've got this."
But is that even true? Can we REALLY stand on our own? We actually need one another, right? We actually need God, too.
In today's scripture-song, the anonymous writer of Psalm 71 lays out his shortcomings for all to see. He confesses to God all the ways he needs refuge, where he needs help, how he needs deliverance, to be rescued, to be revived... He mentions these words 15 separate times.
Perhaps it's his perspective as an old man that allows him to be so vulnerable. When you're old, I suppose you get used to asking for help, accustomed to your own limitations. Must we be senior citizens to understand? God is the one who will deliver us from trouble! He will rescue us from our selfishness, our brokenness, and our self-destructive tendencies!
We can endure the difficult times of fear and waiting by worshipping the One who saves! The last ten verses of this scripture describe all the ways the psalmist will praise and glorify God! He doesn't wait until he has overcome these challenges; rather, he uses faith and experience to get on that praise-routine right away! He uses his memory of God's faithfulness since he was a baby, as a basis for his hope!
Let's use this as a template for our own response. You will encounter difficulties and struggles, so how will you respond?
Let us respond with faith.
Amen.

Prayer for Lifelong Protection and Help
1 In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me and save me.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
a strong fortress, to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
7 I have been like a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
do not forsake me when my strength is spent.
10 For my enemies speak concerning me,
and those who watch for my life consult together.
11 They say, ‘Pursue and seize that person
whom God has forsaken,
for there is no one to deliver.’
12 O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
13 Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
let those who seek to hurt me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 But I will hope continually,
and will praise you yet more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all day long,
though their number is past my knowledge.
16 I will come praising the mighty deeds of the Lord God,
I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.
17 O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18 So even to old age and grey hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might
to all the generations to come.
Your power
19 and your righteousness, O God,
reach the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?
20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
rom the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
21 You will increase my honour,
and comfort me once again.
22 I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have rescued.
24 All day long my tongue will talk of your righteous help,
for those who tried to do me harm
have been put to shame, and disgraced.

Oh Lord Please Rescue Your Children
Amen, I agree Lord!
This psalm is perfect for the times we are living in we need to look to the Psalms and how David cried out to the Lord to help him, to be with him,to strengthen him in times of trouble. The times of trouble are now and we need to cry out to the Lord to protect us. The psalms help us to know how to cry out to the Lord our God. Thank you so much for singing this beautiful psalm.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 You are right we are in the end times & lots people are going through a lot.
Yes, God has been faithful in the past, and will continue to be faithful in the future. Times are strange and challenging now, but nothing has changed in the Kingdom! He will be glorified!
It is true, Comfort Okoro-Akozo!
In my trouble now am crying out to O Father in heaven in Jesus mighty name
@@orlineferdinand4272 Amen. I pray for you in your trouble, Orline.

I love God's waterfalls, great and small. His grace falling down on us and overflowing us.This video calmed my weary heart today. Isa 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Righteousness and praise in 2024.

Another beautiful but very plaintive cry of the heart. Since I've been subscribing it's nice to see how the seasons have changed in your videos. I'm going to be posting Psalm 19 today... the heavens declare!
Yes, I don't love the winter, but it is wonderful to have a season change. Thanks for watching and commenting brother, it's nice to have the encouragement. I'll keep an eye out for your video.
