Psalm 43 – Prayer

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-itewf-83901

Psalm 43

43:1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.

Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

43:2 For you are the God of my strength.

Why have you rejected me?

Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

43:3 Oh, send out your light and your truth.

Let them lead me.

Let them bring me to your holy hill,

To your tents.

43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy.

I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

43:5 Why are you in despair, my soul?

Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God!

For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God

Mary’s God – Partakers Christmas Bible Thought

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-7bzk4-13425fe

24. Mary’s God – Partakers Christmas Bible Thought

In our last podcast, we looked at Mary’s response the visit of her relative Elizabeth, and discovered that in response to Elizabeth’s exclamations, Mary spontaneously bursts into song! A song seemingly of renewal, revolution and reformation. Today we look more at the God of Mary whom she worships and what that has to do with us today. Mary knows that her God is called Almighty. We know it as well through our study of the Bible and in our own lives, I am sure. But how is God, “Almighty”, and just as importantly, why? God being Almighty, can be summed up in 3 words: Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. Come and listen to find out more about God and Mary’s relationship with Him, in this part in the Christmas story!

46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
