#750 - PSALMS 20:1-6 // PROVERBS 20:5

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions! Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Psalms 20:1-6

The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. Proverbs 20:5

Heavenly Father, Answer. Protect. Send. Remember. Regard. Grant. Fulfill. Save. This is what you DO! I praise you Lord as a mighty God with a mighty hand who does not sit passively watching the universe and earth pass the time. Instead, you act. You move. You bless. You heal. You work all things out for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. You are constantly working to bring your purposes to pass in the world and in our lives. You are the ultimate chess player. You know the end from the beginning. You know exactly what pieces to move and when to move them to accomplish your ends. I praise you Lord for your mighty, strong, perfect powerful hand!

Lord, I thank you for the purposes you put in my heart. I thank you for the purposes you put in the heart of others. Lord, I ask that you would please make me a man of understanding. By your Holy Spirit help me to understand not only the purposes of my heart, but help me to serve others by helping them to understand the purposes you have placed in their heart as well. Give me good questions to ask. Give me heavenly insight to share. Give me supernatural discernment to pass along. Apart from you I can understand nothing of eternal significance. Give me understanding Lord. Give me understanding. I love you. I thank you for the understanding you have graciously given me. Give me more. Help me grow deeper and wider in my understanding. Give me insight beyond my years and experience. For your glory Lord. For your glory Lord. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen.
