We Will Remember The Name of The LORD

                                        Psalm 20:1-8

           Life is so interesting with all of its complexities.  Trouble comes to us all.  It doesn’t matter whether we are rich or poor, powerful or powerless.  We all must learn to deal with life’s difficulties.

             Psalm twenty is one of my favorite portions of scripture because I always find myself in need of the Lord’s help.  The Psalmist David, prays that the Lord would answer us in the day of trouble.  He recognizes that being a “Christian” or in his case a servant of Jehovah does not preclude us from the problems of life.  He continues his prayer by asking; “May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help... And strengthen you... May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose.”  David also, within this passage asks God to remember all our offerings and sacrifices.

When you are in trouble or difficulty, are moments of past faithfulness those that you reflect upon?  Do you take time to ponder and recall what the Lord has done for you and what your response has been to Him?  Jesus is amazingly faithful!  He cannot deny this integral part of Himself.  His name will always protect you.

David concludes this Psalm with these words.  “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.  They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.”

When you remember the name of the Lord, reconstruct all of His faithful acts and powerful love that have been gloriously extended to you.

In Christ,
