Psalm 35:27 Let him shout for joy and be glad, Who favours my righteous cause; And let them say continuously, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
When we’re saying something continuously we’re saying it all the time. We’re reminding the principalities and powers as well as ourselves just how great our God is and that He wants us to prosper. We’re reminding them to take their hands off our prosperity because we belong to God!
The Psalmist also tells us to shout for joy and be glad because we’re favouring God’s righteous cause. What is our cause? It’s God’s cause. It’s salvation by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It really is something to shout with joy about! We see lots of people in the media who have a ‘cause’, some good, some bad, but they shout about them anyway, they have a cause and so do we!
The Psalmist is telling us to speak up about ours, to be continually on about how great our God is, to want to be magnifying and making much of Him throughout our day.
Then he tells us something about how God sees us. It says He takes pleasure in something as well and what is it? It’s our prosperity.
If you look up prosperity in the original it says ‘Shalom’ which means peace, health, favour and prosperity which includes our physical, spiritual, and our financial prosperity. God takes pleasure in us having all of those. God doesn’t want His children sick and poor. He’s pleased when He sees us prospering, and it’s what He wants for us all, it’s part of His good plan for us.😊
Lord we’ll keep declaring how Great You are. We shout for joy for Your righteous cause, for Jesus and our salvation. You really are great Lord and we want to make much of You for all Your goodness to us and for helping us to prosper in every way. Thank You Lord. Amen.
Let them say continuously “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
