BOAST ABOUT OUR GOD

 Psalm 20:1/4/5/7 NLT 

1. In times of trouble, may the Lord

Answer your cry.

May the name of the God of Jacob 

keep you safe from all harm.

4. May he grant your heart’s desires.

And make all your plans succeed.

5. May we shout for joy

When we hear of your victory

and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.

May the Lord answer all your prayers.

7. Some nations boast of their chariots and horses

But we will boast in the name of the Lord our God.

This has been the Global Week of Prayer where people have prayed around the clock in prayer rooms all over the world to our God. Did David have a prayer room or did he just pray out in the middle of a field - somewhere where he poured out his heart to his God and prayed believing God was answering?

We see it in today’s very positive Psalm, full of confidence in our God. David had proved time and again that no matter what trouble came along he could go to his God and know He would listen to him and do something about it.😊

God wants us to have that same level of confidence in Him as David did, and know we too can boast about the goodness of our God. David was so sure of the victory he was making plans for it, plans to make a victory banner, plans to shout for joy, he was so confident of the outcome of his prayers.

Our God is still the same and we can have that same confidence, and boast about what the Lord our God has done, and will do even more for us, in answer to our prayers. David prays about the Lord granting our heart’s desires and making our plans succeed, which ties in with yesterday - asking big prayers.😊

Romans 8:32 NIV He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

We have a wonderful prayer answering God. Let’s praise and boast in His name today and give Him all the honour He so rightly deserves. In Jesus name. Amen.
