All right, Psalm 62. Now the same Hebrew word is translated
three ways in this psalm. It's the same word, but it's
translated three different words. Mostly it's translated only,
and for that reason, some call this the only psalm. That's our
title, the only psalm. Let's read it again together.
Verse one, truly, you see the margin there? It says only, only. Only my soul weighteth upon God. And then verse two, he only is
my rock and my salvation, my defense. And then in verse four,
speaking of the enemies of Christ, they only consult to cast him
down from his excellency. They delight in lies, they bless
with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Verse 5, my soul wait
thou only upon God, for my expectation, my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation,
my defense. He says in verse 9, surely, and
that word is only, and he's saying here of all men, Only men of
low degree or men of low degree are only vanity. Men of high
degree are only alive. To be laid in the balance, they
are all together, they are alike, high and low, only lighter than
vanity. God-given faith rests upon God
only. If I'm trusting partly in God
and partly in myself, then I'm not trusting God at all. True
faith trusts only upon God. God only is our power, our strength. God only is mercy. God only is salvation. God's people trust God only. We're brought to trust God only. Now, I want to look at each of
these onlys that he speaks of here, and they kind of will serve
as our outline. First of all, in our inner man,
in the new man, true faith waits silently only upon God. True faith silently waits only
upon God. He says in verse one, truly,
and the word is only, my soul waiteth upon God. From him cometh
my salvation. Now there's three ways we can
look at this first verse, and all three give us something that's
true. Our translation is true. It says,
truly my soul waiteth upon God. For a sinner that's been sanctified
by God, given a new heart, that new heart, that inner man, is
created in true holiness. We truly, truly worship and serve
God and wait upon God in that inner man. We truly do. Truly. My soul waiteth upon God. You know, we have to wait on
God because God's never moved by the things that move us. Things
happen in life and they move us. They don't move God. He predestinated
them and he's gonna bring them to pass when he would have it
brought to pass. God moves everything, but God
is not moved by anything. And so we have to wait on God.
Truly, in our inner man, in our soul, in the very depths of our
inner being, we wait on God. Every true child of God does.
We see another truth here when we look at this with the Hebrew
word translated only. This word can be translated only. Read it now this way. Only my
soul waiteth upon God. That's true. God's saints only
wait upon God in the inner man. Only my soul waiteth upon God. Our flesh profits nothing. Our
sin nature is impatient, impulsive, worrisome, rebellious, and sinful. Only my soul waiteth upon God. If you're sitting here tonight
or you're at home watching this on television and you truly believe
Christ, it's only in your inner man that you do that. Flesh profits
nothing. And that's why I hear, that's
one reason he says there in verse 2, I shall not be greatly moved. In my flesh, I am moved. When
trouble comes in my flesh, I'm moved, aren't you? But in my new man, by God's grace,
I wait upon God. And so I'm not greatly moved.
I'm moved, but I'm not greatly moved. And then the literal translation
is also true. Only toward God is my soul silent. That's the literal translation.
Only toward God is my soul silent. Only toward God do I look. Only
toward God do I wait. And in my inner man, I do so
silently, patiently. Remember now, there's no sin
in that new man that's created of God. The impatience is not
there. It's in the flesh. It's in our
sin nature. The worry and the fretting and
the doubting, that's in our sin nature. In our inner man, only
toward God is my soul silent. That's what our translators translated
it waiting or waiteth. But the literal is only toward
God is my soul silent. No matter how the storm rages
around us, brethren, No matter how it rages, no matter how the
trial rages around us, by God's grace, in our new man, every
child of God knows it is well with my soul. Don't you know
that? No matter what's happening, this
is what we know in the new man. By God's grace, by God teaching
us, this is what we know. It is well with my soul. Why
do we know that? Look at the end of verse one.
From him cometh my salvation. That's how I know. I know it's
well with my soul because from God cometh my salvation. How
many times has God saved you, believer? We think of salvation
as being converted. We think of salvation as being
ultimately saved from our sin. Salvation's a lot bigger than
that. How many times has God saved you? Our salvation involves
everything. Everything. When we came into
this world, we started walking through the valley of the shadow
of death. We came into this world dead
and we were walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
And God has been with His child saving us every step of the way
and shall be. He has saved me, He is saving
me, and He shall yet save me. From Him cometh my salvation.
In the fullness of time, when the Son of God took flesh and
came down from heaven and took flesh and worked out an everlasting
righteousness for His people, from God came my salvation. Can you say that? When God made
the gospel cross this sinner's path, when He made the gospel
cross my path, from God came my salvation. When the Spirit
of God gave me life and faith and all things that pertain to
life and godliness, from God came my salvation. In every trial
that we face in this life, every single trial we come into, every
trial that we pass through, every trial we're delivered from, from
God comes our salvation. Do you know what God's teaching
us each time He sends a trial? Do you know what God's teaching
us whenever He makes us wait on Him and then saves us from
the trial? He's teaching us that from God
cometh our salvation. every time. He's teaching us
that so that in the next trial, even when you can't possibly
see how any good could come from it, even when you can't possibly
see how God's going to bring glory to His name, what He's doing in this trial,
He's doing to show you that your salvation comes from God so that
when you face the next trial, You can look at it and you can
say, I don't know how. I don't know how God's going
to bring glory to His name. I don't know how He's going to
save me from this, but I do know this, from God comes my salvation. And so we'll have this attitude,
truly only my soul silently waiteth upon God, from Him cometh my
salvation. and with each trial, each trial
we go through, God's preparing us for the greatest trial. Every one of these little trials
we go through is preparing us for the great trial. Unless God providentially has
something else ordained for you and me, one of these days you're
going to get notified that you're dying and it's around the corner. We have dear, dear brethren right
now who truly only are waiting on God. That's all they're doing
right now, waiting on God. Some are aged believers. Some
are weak with sickness. Some are, or all of them though
that I'm talking about here, are close to finishing their
course. They're close to finishing the
race. And they have been sent trials in the past. And they've
learned from experience over and over. God's taught them.
So now, having everything God requires of them, having everything
God requires to accept them into the home, to welcome them home. They've got it all. They've got
what they need in Christ. And so right now, having everything
God requires, They can say this, truly only my soul silently waiteth
upon God, from Him cometh my salvation. It's not going to be death. It
will not be death. It will be this world passing
from them is what it will be. It will be the body of this death
passing from them. and it'll be salvation coming
to them from their God. That's what it'll be. So that's
what true faith does by God's grace. True faith waits silently
only upon God. Now secondly, look here, true
faith rests only upon God. Before we saw true faith waits
upon God, waits on God, knowing from Him comes my salvation.
Here, true faith rests only upon God. See here, verse two, He
only is my rock and my salvation, my defense. I shall not be greatly
moved. Christ is the rock, the only
rock. upon which God the Father builds
His church. God the Father chose this foundation. He chose to build His church
on this rock. Listen to Isaiah 28, 16, Thus
saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone,
a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. He that believeth
shall not make haste, You don't have to worry. Be confounded. You'll never be troubled. He
that believeth. He's a tried stone. He was tried.
Christ came. He was tried under the law. Found
perfect. He was tried by Satan's temptations. And then he was tried by the
fiery cross. In the furnace of fire he did
seven times. He did to perfection. And he
was found to be faithful and true. God said, a tried stone. He's a precious cornerstone.
He's precious to God. He's rare. You know, a precious
stone is rare. He's rare. How so? There's only one like him. There's
only one like Christ. If you had a stone that was,
there was only one like it in the whole world, that would be
a precious stone. There's only one like this stone.
He's righteous and He's holy. Paul said, Other foundation can
no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
That's how rare He is. Precious cornerstone. A sure
foundation. Because He's tried and found
perfectly righteous, perfectly holy, because He passed through
the fire and brought in everlasting righteousness for His people,
because He put away the sin of His people, brethren, Because
He's a precious stone, everybody that trusts this foundation finds
out He's a sure foundation. Christ said any man that builds
his house on this foundation, the storms will rage and his
house will never fall because it's built on a rock. It's built
on Christ the foundation. The Spirit of God makes Christ
precious to His elect so that we can say He only is my rock. And we sing, He hideth my soul
in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock and covers me there
with his hand. We sing, On Christ the solid
rock I stand. All other ground is what? Shifting sand, sinking sand. That's why he says here, Christ
only is my rock. He's the rock of ages, the cleft
for me, lets me hide myself in thee. What does it mean that
Christ only is my rock? He says it right here, it means
He only is my salvation. See, in the first verse, He said
my salvation comes from Him. Well, my salvation not only comes
from Christ, Salvation is not only of the Lord, Christ only
is my salvation. You see the difference there?
Yes, salvation comes from Him, but He is that salvation. He
is my wisdom. He gives wisdom, but He is my
wisdom. He gives righteousness, but He
is my righteousness. He gives holiness, but He is
my sanctification. He's my redemption. He's my door. He's my way. He's my life. He's my truth. Everything that
He gives, He is. He is. He is my salvation. I'm not looking to Christ plus
something. We're not looking to Christ plus
anything. Christ only is my salvation. Christ only is everything I need. Christ is my salvation. Think
about that statement. I thought about it a while. Christ
is my heaven. He's my light. He's everything. My defense. My only defense. That means my secure high place. My lofty stronghold. My unassailable
high refuge. That means no enemy can touch
me in Christ. Not the devil, not worldly men,
not my own sin nature. Not the law, not death, not hell. Christ only is my defense. Therefore I shall not be greatly
moved. Now, my flesh may be moved. It will be moved. When trial
comes, I've never faced a trial if my flesh wasn't moved. How
about you? But in my inner man, in my soul, by God's grace, I'm
waiting on Him and I know salvation comes from Him and He is my salvation. He is my rock. He is my defense. So I move, but I shall not be
greatly moved. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom
which cannot be moved. We have a kingdom that cannot
be moved. Let us have grace whereby we
may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Don't
forget this proposition now. Here's our proposition. To rest
partly on God and partly on myself is to not trust God at all. True
faith rests only upon God. Christ only is my salvation. Do you need salvation? I hope
somebody hears this. Would it be wonderful if somebody
hears this and they really need salvation? I need salvation right
now. I need salvation right now. And my flesh is moved. But in
my inner man, I know where my salvation comes from and I know
who my salvation is. Do you need salvation? Christ
only is salvation. Now thirdly, know this, our enemies
only seek to cast us down from Christ. Our enemies only seek
one thing, is to cast us down from Christ. Look at verse 3.
How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain,
all of you, as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering
fence. Now brethren, just like Christ,
and just like David, we have a lot of enemies. You and I have
a lot of enemies. We have the devil and wicked
angels, powers and principalities, reprobate men. We have a lot
of enemies. Now here's a question to all
our enemies. This is a question God asked
to all our enemies. To all who think they can oppose
Christ and win, To all who think they can oppose Christ's people
and win. Here's the question. How long
will you imagine mischief against a man? David's asking this of his enemy.
How long will you imagine mischief against a man? He said, I'm just
a man. That's all I am. David said,
I'm the one who's like the bowing wall and the tottering fence.
It's easy to cast me down. David was only a man. Christ's
preacher is only a man. Christ's redeemed people are
only men. But we're God's men. We're God's
men. When Israel traveled through
wilderness, they passed from enemy to enemy to enemy. And those enemies didn't do them
any harm. Why? Because God said, Touch not mine
anointing, and do my prophets no harm. That's all his people. All his people are his anointed. He said, Touch not mine anointing,
and do my prophets no harm. And so he asks here, How long
will you imagine mischief against a man? Here's the answer. This is what God says. Verse
3, You shall be slain, all of you. You know what the literal
translation says? It says ye are slain, all of
you. It says it's already done. As
a bowing wall in a tottering fence. Christ has already conquered
all our enemies, brethren. On the cross when he said it
is finished, that's one of the things included in it is finished.
Christ crushed the devil's head and he shall brew Satan under
our feet shortly. Our enemies are conquered. They're
already conquered. God's using our enemies right
now to bring us into these trials to teach you and me that our
salvation comes from Him only and He only is our salvation.
So be sure to get this. Now the enemies of Christ, they
only have one objective. Just one objective. Look at verse
4. They only consult to cast down from His excellency. They
delight in lies, they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Now in David's day, it was true. In Christ's day, when he walked
this earth, it was true, and it's true in our day right now.
Our enemies' only desire, they have one desire, is to cast Christ
down from His excellency. That was their desire when Christ
walked this earth, was to cast Him down. And their desire is
to cast us down from Christ, who is our excellency. That's
their only desire. They might be nice, they might
be kind to your face, they might be friendly, they might look
like a sweet little grandma. But this right here is the truth,
they only have one desire. If they're the devils and they're
reprobate men, they got one desire, to cast you down from Christ. They delight in lies, that's
all they delight in. Oh, they may appear religious,
they may appear to be your friend. They bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Somebody would have you, some
of them would have you think that Christ was only a man. There's gonna be some, our young
people face, and they would try to convince you, he was just
a man. He's the God man, the mediator. Somebody would have
you think that, Well, when he came and he died and he was buried
and he remained in that grave, he stayed in that grave. No,
he's risen. This is the God-man who's risen. Some would have his people to
believe that and they jokingly call him the old man upstairs.
He's not the old man upstairs. He's reigning supreme over everything
and everybody. Others wear a disguise of religion.
They're not just out and out denying Him, they wear a disguise
of religion. They don't mind you worship Christ, just don't
worship Christ only. And they'll tell you things,
they try to tell you things like, Christ laid down His life for
all men because they want man to be the one who makes Christ's
blood effectual. They'll say Christ wants to save
everybody if man will just let Him be God. They want man to
be God instead of Christ. Some say Christ does part of
the work but there's another part that's left up to you. Do
you want a bridge that only goes halfway across the river? You
take off driving across it, you got to try to figure out how
to get to the other side. You won't want to go all the way
to the other side. Christ goes all the way to the other side
for his people. No part of it left up to us. Sometimes a fellow
brother may appear to be an enemy. Now listen carefully to this,
brethren. Sometimes a brother or sister in Christ may appear
to be the enemy. That happens. And he may appear to be the enemy
because he is the cause of another brother's trouble. But get this
now. Please get this. It doesn't mean
that brother is an enemy. What it means is that brother
is himself being troubled by the enemy. That's what it means.
It means that brother's being troubled by the enemy. The trial
is for that brother as well as the brother he's troubling. That's
what it means. And when a brother's troubled,
troubled, and he's troubling another brother, the whole church
suffers. We're all troubled. It's a trial
for all God's people when God brings us to face the enemy.
It's a trial for all of us. And God's teaching us, what do
we do? Here's the next point. Here's what we do. True faith
waits because we hope only in God. Look here. When faced by
the enemy, do what David did. Here's what he did. He reminded
himself of this. Look at verse 5. My soul, sometimes
you got to preach to yourself. And here's what we do. We preach
to ourself. My soul, wait thou only upon God. Now pay careful
attention to this. You read this and I read this.
I've been looking at this psalm now for a solid week thinking,
well these verses all say about the same thing. No they don't.
Each one of these points is a little different. Each one of these
onlys is different. Now watch this. My soul wait
thou only upon God. For my expectation, my hope,
the thing I'm longing for is from him. He only is my rock
and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not
be moved. That's different, isn't it? I
shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my
glory. The rock of my strength and my
refuge is in God. Why does he say here Before he
was talking about within us, he was talking about my soul.
This is what my soul of. My soul waits on the Lord. Only
my soul waits on the Lord. My flesh doesn't. My flesh is
impetuous. It's sinful. So I shall not be
greatly moved. But here, he's speaking of our
expectation. He's talking about our hope that
enters into the veil. Christ. He's talking about our
expectation that's coming from God to us, from outside of us. This is in relation to our enemy
who would cast us down. Our expectation is that God shall
come and He will be my rock, He'll be my salvation, He'll
be my defense. Our hope is that Christ shall
come and shall not allow the enemy to cast us down. This is
what we expect God Himself shall be and shall do for us. This
is fulfilled by God. We don't have anything to do
with this. This is not my soul waiting. This is what I am looking
for from God to do for me in relation to the enemy that would
cast me down. And therefore, because God does
this, I shall not be moved. I'm not going to be cast down.
Believer, you're not going to be cast down. The enemy has one
desire, that's to cast you down. Your soul's not going to be moved,
your flesh will, but your soul won't, so you won't greatly be
moved. But when it comes to being cast down by the enemy, I shall
not be moved at all. He's not going to be moved. Moved
from where? Moved from Christ. He will not
move us from Christ. He's trying to cast us down from
our excellency, remember? He will not be able to move us
from Christ. He won't be able to separate
us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Here's why. Because in God is my salvation
and my glory. The rock of my strength and my
refuge is in God. I'm in that tower. I'm in that
rock. I'm in Christ the rock. God's
got me covered with His hand and so when the enemy comes and
tries to cast me down from Christ my excellency, do you think he's
going to succeed? No. Now I might be moved. Because I'm partly sin in me,
I have sin in me, so I might be shaken, I might be moved in
me. My soul will wait on God. But as far as me being in my
excellency Christ Jesus, I shall not be moved. I shall not be
cast down from Him. See, that's the good news for
us, brethren. Look here, in God is my salvation
and my glory. In God. The rock of my strength,
my refuge is in God. We have no strength. My strength
is in Christ. There's no strength in me. No
strength in you. In God is my salvation. In Christ
is my glory. In the rock is my strength. In
God is my refuge. But I don't have any and you
don't have any. Now brethren, I'm going to tell
you something. I'm not speaking on theory here. And I'm not saying
this except by God's grace, but I'm going to tell you something
that I know is a fact. This is a fact. There's one place that
is the very best place you and I can be in this world. It's
a place we hate the most. When God brings us to where we
have, we see that we have no strength at all. Where all you
can do is cry to Christ to be your strength. That is the very
best place you can be in this world. The very best place. You
know why? Because that's the only time
we really trust Him. That's exactly what Paul was
talking about when he said, I will rather glory in my infirmities.
Because when I'm weak, when I can't trust me anymore, when I'm so
weak that I don't have, I can't resort to my hand to be a refuge,
I can't look to my wisdom to be salvation, I can't look to
anything about me to help me. When He brings you to that place,
then you're strong when you're looking to Christ only. Because
He's our strength, He's our only strength. Brethren, that's the
very best place we can be. That's when you see, I shall
not be moved. You see? Oh, I wait on the Lord. Only on the Lord. I sit quietly
in my soul, in my inner man, waiting only on the Lord. But
even then, I'm moved. But in Christ, in Christ, by
Christ, I shall not be moved. That's where my strength is. So here's the point now. Here's
the lesson to all this. First of all, verse 8, trust
in Him at all times. That's your first point to get. Trust in Him at all times. David
knew this. He said my times are in thy hand. Isn't that right? The time we
were born was in God's hand. The time we were born again was
in God's hand. We didn't know the time, did
we? All times of prosperity are in His hand, and all times of
adversity are in His hand. Times of darkness and desertion
and temptation, and times of joy and peace and comfort, they're
in His hand. The time of trial, the time it
comes, the time it lasts, and the time it ends, it's in His
hand. What time I live, and what time I die, it's all in His hand. All is predestinated by God,
all is brought to pass by God, all is ordered by God, and all
is ended by God. But you and I do not know the
times. We don't control the times. We
have no, we have nothing to do with the times, do we? It's all
in God's hand. So trust Him at all times, isn't
there? You've got to trust Him at all
times. And then look, while you're doing that, pour out your heart
to God. Verse 8, you people, pour out
your heart before Him. God's a refuge for us. Somebody
wrote this. Let me read this to you. They
said, turn the vessel of your soul upside down in His secret
presence. and let your inmost thoughts,
desires, sorrows, and sins be poured out like water. Hide nothing
from Him, for you can hide nothing. To the Lord unburden your soul,
for if we unload our hearts at the Lord's feet, we shall obtain
a sympathy as practical as it is sincere, and as consolatory
as it is ennobling." That's a good statement. Don't, don't. We try to hide things from men.
Don't hide anything from God. Come to God. He's the only one
that can absolve your sin, so come and confess your sin to And then here's the next thing.
Do not trust in man. Verse 9. Surely men of low degree
are vanity. Now remember that word surely
is only. You have to kind of read it like
this, because our interpreters put it in a different order,
because they used the word surely. But what he's saying is, men
of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie
to be laid in the balance. They are all together, they are
both alike, only lighter than vanity. All men, he's saying,
are only vanity. That's all they are. You know,
if you're going and you're weighing something on a scale and weighing,
if you go to a feed store, for instance, and you were buying
some kind of feed, corn or something for chickens, let's say, you're
buying some feed, and when you get through and they pour that
into your container, there's gonna be some little dust left
on the scale. Well, nobody fools with the dust.
You don't weigh anything. Nobody cares about the dust,
it's not worth anything. That's us. That's what he means
by lighter than vanity. It means less weight than weightlessness. That's what it means. You weigh
less than weightlessness. Boy, he sure carries a lot of
weight. No, he don't. No, he don't. Not a man does. He's less weight than weightlessness.
So don't trust in man, and don't trust in man's vain way either.
Verse 10, trust not in oppression, but come not vain in robbery.
If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. We dress up
sin in a three-piece suit. We say things like, oh, he's
a shrewd businessman. You know what God says about
him? It's robbery. That's what God
says. He's oppressing men. He's pressing men, being hard. He's saying, don't trust in pressuring
others. Don't trust in manipulation.
Don't trust in harsh dealing. The world calls such men valuable. You can't do without them in
business. God calls them worthless. He says, become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your
heart upon them. How am I going to know if my
heart is set on them? Can you sell them? Can you sell those
items that you are so attached to and then can you give that
money away? Can you quit that salary? That was the test for the rich
young ruler, remember? More people fall away from prosperity
than fall away from poverty. Don't set your heart on them.
Don't become oppressive. Remember this. While you're not
set in your heart, here's the positive. God is all our provision. Don't forget that. Remember that.
Look here in verse 11. God has spoken once, twice, have
I heard this, that power belongeth unto God. Read that in relation
to what he just said. Power's not in riches. Power's
not in men. Strength is what he's talking
about. It belongs to God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth
mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
If a man goes through this world trusting in oppression, trusting
in robbery, he's hard-hearted, he's unmerciful, he's unforgiving,
he lives in judgment, he lives by the sword, God's going to
render to that man the same thing. lest he be God's elect, lest
Christ die for him, God will render to him the same exact
thing as he dealt out. Christ said, if you will not
forgive, you shall not be forgiven. If you will not show mercy, better
hope you don't ever need it, because you won't have it. But
see here, for his people, power belongs to God, strength belongs
to God, and not only does the power and the strength belong
to him, He's merciful to give you and me whatever we need.
That's right. That's who God is. And He'll
render to every man according to his deeds. According to whatever
you need, God will give it to you. To His people. Plus, get this. If you're trusting
Christ only, if He's brought you to where you trust only Christ,
then all Christ's deeds are our deeds. And when He says here,
He'll render to you according to your deeds. He'll render you
the deeds Christ performed for you, the righteousness Christ
worked out for you. He'll render that to you. And
not only that, He'll render you strength and power and everything
else you need in this life so that you don't have to trust
in oppression. You don't have to trust in vain riches. You
don't have to trust in vain men. He only is our salvation. Him
alone. So that we can say this, He's
my full provision, He's my full protection, He's my full power,
He's my salvation. I can say this, verse 5, My soul,
wait thou only upon God. When you come into the trial,
or if you're in the trial, in your trouble, or your loved
one is troubled, say this to them, wait on God. Wait only upon God. Wait only
upon God. My expectation, my hope is from
Him. From Him. He only is my rock. He only is my salvation. He only
is my defense. And therefore, I shall not be
moved. Believer, that's a word from
God for you. If you trust Him, that's a word
from God for you. I pray God bless that. Amen. All right, brethren, let's go
to the Lord in prayer. Father, Lord, use these words
to comfort your people. Use these words to rebuke us,
to admonish us, to encourage us, to comfort us, whatever your
child needs. Lord, we pray you bless this
word and apply it so that it accomplishes that thing that
you sent it for. You promised us, Father, that
your word shall never return to you void. By your grace, it
shall accomplish the thing whereunto you sent it. We ask you now,
Father, make this word accomplish the thing where unto you sent
it. If you do that, Father, we're
thankful. That's all we need is you to bless your word to
our heart. We're waiting on you. We trust you. You are our salvation. Don't let us trust in man. Don't
let us trust in man's vain way. Make us, Lord, to trust only
in you. Forgive us now our sins. Forgive us for doubting, forgive
us for not doing anything here that you've promised. Lord, we're
thankful that Christ has and that He's our righteousness in
it. It's in His name, the King of kings and Lord of lords, the
Prince of life. Thank you, Father. Amen.
