Do you need encouragement that our God answers prayers? Read the intercession of Psalm 20 and then the direct answers to prayer given in Psalm 21. Our God wants us to know He hears, He cares, and He is in complete control. In this Psalm we are given a psalm of thanksgiving to pray when God has answered our prayers and when He has given us the victory. We are to take the time to praise and honor and glorify our great God who gives us strength to endure all of life's battles.

Do you struggle to know what to pray for those going through hardships? Consider soaking in Psalm 20. Here, the people of Israel pray for the King the night before an intense battle. We learn how to intercede for leaders and also those facing intense trials. The Psalm teaches us to have  eyes that look forward to the consummation of Christ’s Kingdom. No matter how bleak things look, we remember that Jesus has already won the war. Because of this, we can rejoice, by faith, that the future IS bright and victory is the Lord’s!

C.S. Lewis once said this Psalm was the greatest poem in the Psalter with the greatest lyrics in all the world. It is, indeed, a special psalm. In it we find that God graciously reveals Himself to us through His world and His Word. David shows us how to commune with God in response to such awesome revelation.

Let us continually seek Him for future help.

 If you have ever been looked down on, treated unfairly, spoken against (or worse) because you are a Christian… then this Psalm is for you. There is a battle raging between light and darkness, good and evil, the spiritually minded and the earthly minded. David cries out to the Lord to intervene and vindicate him in these hardships. He keeps an eternal perspective and remembers that no matter how cruel the fight, seeing our Lord's face will one day make it all worthwhile.

Psalm 17 Song by Poor Bishop Hooper

What does a true relationship with God look like? As we sing with David, we will begin to understand what it looks like to trust God and live in communion with Him. We will learn to have an undivided heart, seeking the Lord alone to satisfy our souls. The result of living in fellowship with our crucified and risen Saviour is fullness of joy in His presence and pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 16 Article: Pleasures Forever

Who is the true worshipper? Who is the one God accepts into His dwelling? It is not the one who sings the most passionately on Sunday morning, or even has the most quiet time. This Psalm shows that our religious activity must translate into the nitty gritty details of everyday life if we would dwell with the Lord. Our love for God must be evident in our relationships and interactions with others.

What is wrong with the world? We are. Sin has infected every human heart. We have all chosen our own way. Our only hope is God's intervention. 

When God awakens our heart to the gospel, we are changed. We can now seek Him, do good deeds, and spread His light. The Lord is with His chosen people and our final salvation will be realized when Jesus comes back. Come, Lord Jesus!
