Psalm 20: The Art of Blessing
Verses 1 through 5 impart blessings--protection, help, remembrance, etc.--from God. Reader, when have you shared God's blessing for others? When have I?
Verses 6 through 8 show confidence in God. I find my confidence increasing whenever God's blessings are given to me, whenever God's blessings are spoken to me. It's hard to imagine any other response. Those who hear God's blessing are encouraged, emboldened, and empowered.
Verse 9 closes Psalm 20 with a specific request. Those who have been blessed feel strong enough to ask for success. Who blesses you, reader? How power-filled are you? What is your request?
God knows.
