Psalm 20 has always a very special attention in my heart. Primary reason is when I go thru the darkest moment of my life, during the crisis of my dad's medical condition and subsequently his passing on, God's encouragement to me is Psalm 20. It is so dear in my heart that I literally cling on to it daily and praying for God to answer when I am in distress.
4 years had passed. Looking back, God indeed answered my prayer when I am distress though at that time in distress, you just couldn't see it. Infact as per verse 2 - May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion, He did send alot of support from everywhere he could bring especially friends from FCBC, Barker Road Methodist and all the Christian friends from my Counselling Class. More importantly, all these years of being faithful as a servant of God is being recognised.
He will reward his anointed one and I believe I belong to that category humbly. God indeed is good and He turned my adverse situation to my advantage. After my dad's passing on, my whole family came to know Christ within 1 year and this is the greatest GIFT I have ever received in my life.
Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call!
