Psalms 70 and 71
Psalms 71: 1 – 13
David prays that he might never be made ashamed of his dependence upon GOD.
With this petition, every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy should engage us in early piety. HE that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the LORD, often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the LORD has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of GOD may be assured that HE will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when their strength fails.

In your patience…
We must engage in the most intense devotion to CHRIST through the means of grace, prayer, study of the Word, worship, holy intimacy with GOD, witness, fellowship with believers and daily resistance to sin.
