None is higher than You O God!  All praise belongs to You!  Come quickly to save me from those that wish to hurt and destroy me!  They threaten me and disappoint me.  They leave me feeling betrayed.  However,  You O God, can put them to shame, You can confuse them and turn them away in disgrace!  My plea for your help is urgent–get them!  Magnificent King!!  You are my delight!

I LOVE THIS PSALM!  (Psalm 70:1-5)

Look at it!  It is a desperate plea for Gods help against those who disappoint and hurt us.  However, in the middle of being assaulted David stops and praises God!  He praises God because He is worthy.  I love it!  Can you imagine, your enemy chasing after you to destroy you, Yikes!  You need help quick!  “Lord, come quickly! HELP!” Then, in your next breath you say, “Lord, You are so amazing!  When I think of Your goodness, my soul gets excited!!!  Look O Lord, those mean, evil people are trying to hurt me!  Get them!  They outnumber me; they are ruthless thugs!  Don’t delay Lord!  You are my deliverer!”

Ever feel like David?  Ever feel like those you thought you could trust, just punched you real good in the gut?  We might even be afraid of them.  How about a shout of praise?  “Jesus! You got this dude!  You are all Mighty!  If I die, being hunted down by my enemy, I am going to die praising you!  Come, quickly Lord!”

God is there.
