Message Notes:
1 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. 2 I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence. 4 For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. 5 You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. 6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. 7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, 8 and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. — Psalm 9v1-10 (ESV)

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.– Psalm 9v10 (ESV)

Trust: firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. — Psalm 20v7 (ESV)

what trusting Jesus looks like:
1. Letting go of control
For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. — Psalm 9v4 (ESV)

If you worry too much about what might be, and wonder too long about what might have been, you will ignore and completely miss what is. — Marc Chernoff

2. Not returning evil for evil
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” - Romans 12v16-19 (ESV)

3. Loving your enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. — Matthew 5v43-45 (ESV)

Learn to sit with Judas and you’ll learn to love like Jesus.

The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. — Psalm 9v6 (ESV)

4. Praying for your persecutors
7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, 8 and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. — Psalm 9v7-8 (ESV)

There will come a time, when the confession of the living God will not only cause hatred against us but will result in ostracism from society. The world cannot live side-by-side with us because what we say and do, whether we intend it to or not, is perceived by the world as condemnation on them. — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

5. Living for later
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. — Psalm 90v1-2 (ESV)

1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. — 1 Peter 4v1-2 (ESV)
