Daily Reading: Psalm 20
Psalm 20 ” The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; (2) Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; (3) Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah. (4) Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. (5) We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. (6) Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. (7) Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we are risen, and stand upright. (9) Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.”
This is an awesome prayer. A beautiful petition for the victory and welfare of another. Not only do we pray for you…it says…we believe you will be victorious and when you are we will be the first ones cheering for you. We will raise the flag that signifies your triumph and we will praise God with you as He wins this battle for you. Some build up their ranks with more and more ammunition…but we stand up under the arm of the Almighty.
Mmm. That’s good stuff.
