Psalm 80:1-6 “For the Chief Musician. To the tune of ‘The Lilies of the Covenant.’ A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out. Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us! Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. LORD God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure. You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh amongst themselves.”

God is sovereign, He rules over the angels, He is our shepherd, and He is the only one who can bestow blessing on His people. Even though we may deserve justice, He is ultimately the only one we can go to for mercy.

Hebrews 4:16 “Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.”
