Psalm 20:4-7
Today we are reading Psalm 20.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 20:4-7 -May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill your whole plan! 5 We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your desires. 6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. 7 Some praise their chariots and some their horses, But we will praise the name of the Lord, our God.

6. Compare Psalm 20:6 with Isaiah 53:1. Do you believe God has the ability to act on behalf of people and intervene in their everyday circumstances? If so, do you think He wants us to ask Him for that sort of help?
7. Read Psalm 20:7. We don't really use chariots anymore and not very many of us have horses; so, what words could we use to give this sentence a more contemporary flavor? Should I even ask you to consider doing something like that? Why or why not?
8. This week I have been thinking about the age of some of the songs we sing. I wonder, what would it be like to write a song that people still sing 200 years after you wrote it? Would you like to be used by God in that way? If so, what can we do to help encourage you in your song writing process?
