the people he chose as his heritage!
13 Adonai looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being;
14 from the place where he lives
he watches everyone living on earth,
15 he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.
16 A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
17 To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape.
18 But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace
19 to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We are waiting for Adonai;
he is our help and shield.
21 For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
22 May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.

"We Are In His Sight" by Author: Kelsey Beck
Shakespeare’s Richard III (1592) is a dramatic portrayal of the ruthless Duke of Gloucester who, near the end of the War of the Roses (c.1455—1487), sought to steal the throne of England. Throughout the play, the dynamic, brilliant Richard succeeds in imprisoning or killing anyone who stands in his way.
However, Richard is ultimately unable to sustain his despotic rule. At the play’s climax, Richard’s steed is struck down in battle, and he
goes down with it screaming, “My horse! My horse! My kingdom for a horse!” (V.II.I). When the symbol of his military might is knocked out from under him, he is left defenseless and is soon killed. It is an ironic end for a tyrant who thought himself invincible.
The psalmist contrasts the Lord’s power with human failings. Unlike many human rulers, God uses His might to care for and defend His people. From His throne in heaven, God sees all. Even when human leaders abuse their
power or fail us, we can take comfort in the knowledge that God will one day right all wrongs for His people.
Hymn for Today: "He Never Has Failed Me Yet” by W.J. Henry
1. When I travel the pathway so rugged and steep,
When I pass through the valley so dark and so deep,
And when snares for my soul by my foes have been set,
Jesus never has failed me yet.
Refrain:
He never has failed me yet.
He never has failed me yet.
I have proven Him true; What He says He will do.
He never has failed me yet.
Thought for Today:
Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.(1 Samuel 2:3).
Please pray: That many people in Benin will come to know Christ and receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit.____________________________
