Waiting for Divine Redemption
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. 2 Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications! 3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered. 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; 6 my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning. 7 O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem. 8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'm just not special enough. What could God possibly do with me?" Did you know that some of the most important people in the Bible could have joined you in that thought? Reverend Hicks outlines one of the most important in today's sermon; click below to read it!
May we, like Mary, pray:
"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant... His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm... He has helped his servant... just as he promised our ancestors."
AMEN
