• Anything I’ve ever accomplished has been because God provides. (v 3)
• Not my strength or sword, but God saves me. (v 6-7)
• It may be bad business, but God sold His people (into slavery) for nothing. (v 12)
• Job determined to serve God no matter what circumstances arose in his life. So also the Psalmist. (v17)
• What does God know about you? (v 21)

Psalm 88

• Saved, yes; but I still have troubles, too. (v 1-4)
• Free among the dead. (v 5). Is that a good thing?
