Bible Reading:
Psalm
20
Key Verse: Verse 3 - “Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.”
Key Words: Remember all thy offerings
King David is the leader of Israel
and is about to go to war. So the people
are remembering the Lord and King David as the kind of leaders they want to
lead them during this time of crisis.
In verse 3 the people are
remembering David to keep God first in their offerings. The people wanted a king who put God first.
We don’t see much of that in
public life today. We have leaders who
attend church and pay token allegiance to God.
We have yet to hear them stand up and say to the people: “We are faced
with crisis after crisis in our nation.
We are going to give our report, then we are going to lead the nation in
prayer, calling upon the Lord Jesus Christ to send a spiritual and national
revival to this land.” Politicians
believe that it would not be politically expedient thing to do. But they are wrong. Now each of us need to remember God in all we
do.
J. S. Bach said, “All music
should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul’s
refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a
devilish hub-bub.”
He headed his compositions:
“J.J.” “Jesus Juva” which means “Jesus help me.” He ended them “S.D.G.” “Soli Dei gratia”
which means “To God alone the praise.”
Isn’t that the way we all should think and live?
