May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high! May He send you help from the sanctuary And support you from Zion! . . .  Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the Lord . . . Save, O Lord; May the King answer us in the day we call.  (Psalm 20:1-2, 7, 9, NASB)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my walk through the Bible I came across Psalm 20, which reminded me of Israel’s war with Gaza.  King David wrote this Psalm, entitled “Prayer for Victory over Enemies.”  In addition to the obvious application to war, there is a personal one as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

David invokes “the God of Jacob” for help “in the day of trouble!”  Further, David implores God to send “help from the sanctuary and support you from Zion!”  He says that the ungodly will boast of the numbers of their physical assets, but “we will boast in the name of the Lord.”  Finally, King David asks, “Save, O Lord; May the King answer us in the day we call.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a personal level, we all go through times of trouble.  We all have to rely on God.  It’s great to know that He’s right here when we need Him!  The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, does indeed set us “securely on high!”  God sends us help from His sanctuary.  “But we will boast in the name of the Lord.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
