Psalm 54!

It's a very short psalm. Again!

1 Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Strangers are attacking me;
ruthless men seek my life—
men without regard for God.
Selah

4 Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.

5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, O LORD,
for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

The first verse speaks to me as it says that God will save us from our sins by the power of His name, and He will vindicate us by His might. This week, I haven't really kept to my promises, its quite difficult. The one hour I spend with God isn't one straight hour, although I haven't played any comp games and I have successfully fasted so far from Star Wars. Which is what I have decided to fast from. Not to mention that I've been doing quite a few other wrong things this week. So I claim this verse that God has forgiven me and given me yet another chance, and will save me from my sins.

Similarly, verse 4 tells me that when the going is tough, and I find myself unable to continue on my own, God will give me the strength and will sustain me through my difficulties.

So don't give up, and depend on God, for He won't let you down!

See all of you tomorrow. Remember to come for cell! And bring your guitar if you can!

Since someone keeps bugging me to sign off, I will. -.-
