May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah. May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. 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. Psalm 20:3-5 NIV
It’s a wonderful feeling when you are approached and even though you may not know the person, they have remembered you; they’ve remembered your kindness or your words of encouragement. Perhaps it was just your loving spirit that stood out and you’re complimented on how you’ve touched their heart. I’ve heard on occasion that “people may not always remember what you say, but they always remember what you do.” It’s simply nice to be remembered even for the smallest of things.
This is a very encouraging psalm written by David telling us to trust in the Lord. He reminds us that God remembers, not some, but all of our sacrifices and in return gives us favor to fulfill our purpose. He not only remembers but gives us the desire of our hearts and makes all of our plans succeed. This reminds me of the words of Jeremiah, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” What a wonderful declaration! Not sure about you, but I needed that confirmation today!
We cannot get discouraged because we don’t understand how God is working out our situations or our circumstances, we simply must trust Him. Trusting that He knows what's best for us. I remind myself that His ways are not my ways and that His thoughts are not my thoughts and that He really does know what’s best for me. If we would stop and think about all the many blessings and benefits that the Lord bestows upon us every day, all day; those we know about and those we don't, those we can see and those we can’t see; we would praise Him continually for who He is and how mindful He is of us. He takes care of us even when we don’t realize that we are being taken care of or gently carried through. David also tells us that he would bless the Lord at all times and His praise would continually be in his mouth… we’ve got to learn to do it like David did!
Today’s scripture ends by saying that we will shout for joy over our deliverance, over our victory and how He has answered our petitions. We will lift up our voices in praise for our God who has remembered us, He who has not forgotten. God reveals Himself, not only to us, His anointed, but to those who know and see our lives. It is a testament as to how great and powerful He is and how His name alone is worthy of all praise for the things He has done! He hears and He will answer us in His time for those of us who continuously put our trust in the God of all flesh.
Be encouraged on today because He has not forgotten you or your labor of love!
Until the morning, be blessed!
