TITLE: For the Director of Music, A Psalm Of David
Scripture: Psalm 20:1 - 9
God’s Message / God’s Commands / God’s Promises:
→ Psalm 20 is David's prayers for us all... a prayer not for himself but for those who are in distress like he was before God came and saved him. David has a pure heart and his prayer showed reverence and humility at all times. David did not assume what God wants for His people. In fact, all his prayers from verses 1 - 5, is not about confirmation but a supplication.. it all started with "May the Lord..." or "May He..." David prayed for positive things for us and even hope that God will grant all our requests. So David did not pray or say anything as if he knows what God wants or plans was. He prayed hoping for the best result. But he did speak in assurance of certain things found in verses 6 - 9. That the Lord gives victory to His anointed, answers him with victorious power of His right hand, those who trust on other things except the Lord will be brought to their knees and fall but we who trust in Him will rise up and stand firm. So though, David did not make any assumptions on the specific answers to his prayers, he knew that God will answer him. Let us have the same humility and assurance like David!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus thank You for a wonderful message. Thank You for teaching me how to pray. Lord help me to always pray in reverence and humility, never assuming that I know better than You. Lord Help me to always pray in supplication and not assumption. I know that You are a God who protects and delivers and provides but help me Lord to see the difference between assumption and reverence to You. I know You understand what i'm trying to say Lord as I have difficulty explaining it further. But Lord search my heart always and remind me to be humble in my prayer and always revere You. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
