Surely you are our helper, the upholder of our lives.
Apart from you, who can eat or have enjoyment?
It is good to seek assurance that we do not run in vain;
but the ultimate source of our assurance is Jesus--
Jesus who was not accepted, not even
in his hometown synagogue.

Selected Verses
Ps. 54:4
But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
Eccl. 2:25
…for apart from [God] who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
Gal. 2:2
I went up [to Jerusalem] in response to a revelation. Then I laid before them (though only in a private meeting with the acknowledged leaders) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure that I was not running, or had not run, in vain.
Matt. 13:54
And [the people in his hometown synagogue] took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house." And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
