The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 20:5-7, “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 petitions.

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 boast in chariots, and some in horses;

But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.”

This is a Messianic psalm, meaning that it was focused

on the LORD Jesus Christ, despite being written in Old

Testament times. Still, it has an application to our

lives, as well. The promise of the psalmist is that we

will openly acknowledge that we belong to the LORD.

His prayer is also that the LORD would answer all our

prayers.

I had a conversation yesterday with a friend on Skype.

She had complimented me on something I had done

for her and that I was always available to help her.

I then replied that she had Someone far more able

than I –One who was always with her. Her answer

was simply “Yes.” Then I asked, “What is that One?”

When she did not answer over a long period of time,

I admonished her lovingly, saying that we must always

be ready to acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Friend,

Savior and LORD. She then said, “I know that you are

right.” This was important, because our prayers are

inextricably entwined with our relationship and

fellowship with Him. The world’s people boast of

what they know and what they have; but we are

out-spoken regarding Jesus!

We pray for your boldness and answers to your prayers,
