TEXT: Psalm
21:1-13
TOPIC: PRAISE
GOD FOR EVERY VICTORY
During David’s reign, the
Israelites were much inclined to put their trust in David who was a powerful
and a skilled military leader. But he repeatedly reminded them to put their
trust in God by praying and offering sacrifices preparatory to every battle.
Horses and chariots were
the most powerful weapons of war but God forbade all the kings of Israel from
trusting in these weapons. “The king moreover, must not acquire great numbers
of horses for himself” (Deuteronomy 17:6).
In Psalm 21, they
gathered to praise God for the king’s victory in battle. This is a good model
for the African church. We should celebrate answered prayers and victories with
fanfare to the glory of God.
ECWA headquarters church
in Jos, the Plateau State capital in Nigeria, celebrates the church’s victory
over the secret society, The Rosicrucian Order, (AMORC) every July. It’s a good
way to commemorate or exalt God for His deeds in the past, trusting Him for the
present and looking forward to His continual intervention and blessings in the
future.
QUESTION: Can
you think of something that the Lord has done for you that is worth celebrating
with friends and family?
PRAYER: Gove me the grace, dear Lord, to remember with
thanksgiving the great things You have done in my life. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
