Hey guys, make sure you are in service tonight, it will be fun!



9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.


This passage reminds me of one we did a little while ago when we talked about revenge and how the Lord avenges us, not ourselves.

I won't tell you again about the whole revenge thing, because you guys have heard it before, but I want to stress out that THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE SEEN THIS, WHICH MEANS IT IS IMPORTANT!!

In our lives whenever we encounter something that is repeated over and over, it usually important!!!!! Make sense? God repeated this because He wants to stress to us that taking revenge in our own hands could be deadly!!!

Don't take revenge into your hands! Leave it to God!
