May the Lord
answer you when you are in distress (Psalm 20:1).
Let me share with you the lyrics to a simple worship song I
wrote some years back based on
Psalm 20.
“Benediction (Psalm 20)”
May you hear the voice of God
When you find yourself in trouble
May his sanctuary rest where you are
May the mighty name of God
Rise up to protect you
May he give you the desires of your heart
And when all your plans succeed
We will shout for joy
At your song of victory

I wrote this thinking of a friend of mine who was going
through a dark time in his marriage.
To make a long story short, his wife left – taking the kids of
course – and he was understandably broken.
It would be a nice fairytale ending if I could write his
wife came back and their home was restored, but that’s not the way things
worked out. Sometime after she married someone else, he was introduced to a
beautiful, godly woman, and
the two fell in love and built a new home together, founded on Christ.
Weeping may stay
for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
TODAY’S MEDITATION
Meditate on Psalm 20.
