If you are ever going to be an ambassador in the hands of a God of glorious and powerful grace, you must die. You must die to your plans for your own life. You must die to your self-focused dreams of success. You must die to your demands for comfort and ease. You must die to your individual definition of the good life. You must die to your demands for pleasure, acclaim, prominence, and respect. You must die to your desire to be in control. You must die to your hope for independent righteousness. You must die to your plans for others. You must die to your cravings for a certain lifestyle or that particular location. You must die to your own kingship. You must die to the pursuit of your own glory in order to take up the cause of the glory of Another. You must die to your control over your own time. You must die to your maintenance of your own reputation. You must die to having the final answer and getting your own way. You must die to your unfaltering confidence in you. You must die.
Paul David Tripp

146:1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

146:2 Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, så længe jeg lever.

146:3 Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!

146:4 Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

146:5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

146:6 som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alf, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

146:7 og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,

146:8 HERREN åbner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

146:9 HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

146:10 HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
