May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; May He grant you according to your hearts desire, and fulfill all your purpose. Psalm 20:1,2,4.
I am reminded of a couple of boys on the playground that start arguing about whose dad is stronger, bigger, able to do various things better.
These verses remind me of who my Daddy is and what He is capable of. The name of God is considered a defense because it represents God’s power and protection. When calling on His name one is invoking His ability to shield them from harm and stand as a fortress against any threat.
I love meditating on the idea of Him fulfilling our purpose. Most translations say desires. May He fulfill your desires. When our desires match our purpose then we have something. How many times in life to the things we desire run contrary to our purpose.
Do you know your purpose in life? If we fail to know our purpose then we are like undisciplined children driven by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
Heavenly Father I pray that you help each of us to know and live according to our purpose. Help us Lord to live within the guidelines of who we are as your children. Lord when we fulfill our purpose You will be most glorified. In Jesus name. AMEN.
