O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free. Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of crue oppressors. Psalm 71: 1-4 NLT
What do you need saving from? A sin or temptation? Someone from a previous relationship? A mean employer? A controlling friend?
The psalmist asks for God's protection because God does what is right. God listens. God sets us free. God is our rock and our safety. God provides a place to hide. God saves us and rescues us even from those who are wicked, powerful and cruel.
Think of one time in your life when you clung to God like a rock and hid in God's shadow. Did you feel protected? Rescued? Do you trust that God can do the same for you today?
O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free. Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors. In Jesus' name. Amen.
