“Now this I know:
The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.”
Psalm 20:6 (NIV)
May the first 5 verses of this psalm be real in your life today!
Just read those verses again and think about how your life would be if these verses were real in your life today.
Now I know that we believe they are real, in the sense that the Word of God is true, especially since we are hidden in Christ Jesus knowing that His sacrifice was accepted, and that we are clean because of His blood,
and yet these verses are not necessarily real in the sense of - this is our experience today.
David knew this of course, for he experienced what we experience
do you remember that although David prayed for his son’s life - his son died
do you remember that although God called David to be king over Israel - David had to wait for 20 hard years before it happened
do you remember that David’s heart desire was to build the temple - God said no
When we read his transition statement in verse 6, we see that David knows that the LORD answers His Anointed.
That’s all David knows, he doesn’t know that God will answer us today in real time, (he prays that He will) but he knows that God will answer His Anointed in real time.
This is one of the identifying marks of God’s Anointed, God’s Messiah, God’s Christ – that God answers Him in real time.
The Gospels are full of amazing records of God giving Jesus of Nazareth victory in real time over sickness, over demons, over death.
Truly Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of God!
Then may the attitude of our hearts be like David’s
May we not trust in chariots and horses
But may we trust in the Name of the LORD
May our prayers be connected to our King Jesus, to His victory, to His glory.
And may God answer us when we call, for we are hidden in His Anointed!
