Applying ancient Scripture to ourselves causes the Bible to come alive. Let’s go to Psalm 20 and where the word “you” occurs we are placing a blank. In your imagination place your name in each blank and I think you will be wonderfully encouraged and blessed.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect ___.
2 May he send ___ help from the sanctuary and grant ___ support from Zion.
3 May he remember all ___ sacrifices and accept ___ burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give ___ the desire of ___ heart and make all ___ 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 ___ 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!
Jesus is on your side because the Word says he is!
Be greatly encouraged,
Pastor James Fields
