Many people are familiar with the Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards, who was a towering figure in church history. In this session, pastor John Shearer describes seven resolutions similarly set forth in Psalm 71 and discusses how he has implemented them in his own life. Though directed toward pastors, this message will encourage all believers as Shearer shares how God’s grace has become increasingly evident to him throughout the years of his ministry.
1iIn you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
3Be to me a rock of jrefuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have kgiven the command to save me,
for you are my lrock and my fortress.
4mRescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5For you, O Lord, are my nhope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6Upon you I have leaned ofrom before my birth;
you are he who ptook me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.
7I have been as qa portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
8My rmouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
9sDo not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who twatch for my life uconsult together
11and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”
12O God, be not vfar from me;
O my God, wmake haste to help me!
13May my accusers be xput to shame and consumed;
ywith scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who zseek my hurt.
14But I will ahope continually
and will bpraise you yet more and more.
15My cmouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for dtheir number is past my knowledge.
16With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
17O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18So even to eold age and gray hairs,
O God, fdo not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
19Your grighteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done hgreat things,
O God, iwho is like you?
20You who have jmade me see many troubles and calamities
will krevive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
21You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.
22I will also praise you with lthe harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O mHoly One of Israel.
23My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have nredeemed.
24And my otongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been pput to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
