Thanks be to God part 9

And so are the words, "Deliver us" over and over. David used them, Daniel, Nehemiah, Moses, even Jesus and now I use them. Deliver me, deliver us, save us from our enemies, save us from those who would want us harmed. Save me God because there are those who don't care about You and they mock me and give me gall to drink. (Sound familiar?) (Psalm 59:6-17; Psalm 69:1-30). And then Jesus in Matthew spoke those wonderful words, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for my sake, for their reward is in heaven." Heaven is the only place that matters. Heaven is where God is, heaven is my one true home. Anything down here will turn to rubble, not heaven. It was the reason for writing "How Firm a Foundation", because in heaven there is an immovable foundation. So no matter if I am sinking in the mire, as in Psalm 69, God still knows what the matter is and that it's going to be OK, I will be alright. Thanks be to God for being such a wonderful protector and shield. And for giving me this day and the next and however many He chooses to give me for His sake.
