Proclamation:
“May
The Lord answer you … May He send you help … May He remember all your sacrifices
… May He give you the desires of your heart … May we shout for joy over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May The Lord grant all your requests.”
Psalm 20:1-5 (NIV)
Explanation:
This
psalm is a song which was written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God
by King David to be sung by the people to honor himself when he was about to go
to war. This was part of the prayer and
praise that the people did for their king before the holy wars. They wanted The Lord God to uphold, support,
and sustain their king-general during a military campaign.
Application:
A
day or time of trouble is an opportunity for The Lord God to demonstrate His glorious
power to the world as He comes to the aid of His believers. As we go through the storms of life, we want
The Lord God to hear and answer our prayers, to help us during our struggles,
to remember our past service and obedience, and to grant us the victory over
whatever the problem. This is our prayer
for ourselves and the prayer that we want others to pray for us. We want The Lord’s powerful presence with us
during the storms. (Psalm 46:1) We want
Him to fight our battles so we know that we will be victorious. (2 Chronicles
20:17) If the things that we desire and
ask Him for gives God glory, then we will receive them. (Matthew 21:22, John
16:24, James 4:3, and 1 John 3:22)
