Today’s Scripture:

Psalm 20

The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your plans.

May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.

Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.

They will collapse and fall, but we shall rise and stand upright.

Give victory to the king, O Lord; answer us when we call.

Food For Thought:

In this Psalm, the Psalmist talks about how God has acted in mighty ways in the life of the Psalmist. Think of the word mighty to describe God. How have you seen God work in mighty ways in the world? How have you seen God work in mighty ways in the lives of followers of Christ?  

Prayer:

O God, living Lord,

you are the author of faith.

engrave on our hearts

the gospel revealed in Jesus Christ

and brought near to us by your Holy Spirit,

that we may attest to this faith

in lives that are pleasing to you. Amen.
