This Week at Mt. Olive

Good evening, fellow redeemed!

In You, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline Your ear to me, and save me!
Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; You have given the command to save me, for Your are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For You, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon You I have leaned from before my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of You.
(Psalm 71:1-6)

Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, help us ever to seek You and to seek others for You, that Your harvest may be full and we may join those from every tribe and nation at the heavenly feast, where You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. AMEN
