The King’s Psalms – Psalms 21

This is the Psalm of David and a type of us as believers. When we read these portions of scriptures we thought it is always saying something about King David. But in the New Testament we are kings and priest of the Lord. (See Revelation 1:6)

The first verse in Psalms 21:1 it says, “The king (you and me) shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!” The Joy of the Lord is our strength and in His Strength there we receive His joy and salvation. The Lord is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. (Habakkuk 3:19) Surely, His strength is made perfect in weakness.

The next verse two says “You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.” It is God’s desire to give us our heart’s desire because His love for us. And if we pray with faith He will not withheld the request of our lips.” God never refuses to answer scriptural prayers. In fact, it is God’s will to hear our prayers. God is listening for you and whatever your heart’s desire is. You and I serve a prayer answering God. “What things so ever you desire, when you pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them” - Mark 11:24 “The desire of the righteous is only good…” Proverb 11:23

The third verse tells us that God will meet us with the “Blessings of goodness”. Every good gift comes from God and it is a blessings. God has installed all His blessings for us because of His goodness. We not only need a blessing, but also we need the blessings (specific). It is time we receive God’s best. God has provided for you a life without lack where He commands such a blessings and it overtakes and overcome every hindrances and every trials. God created you and me because he wanted somebody to love and bless. We can walk into the goodness of God’s blessings each day.

The fourth verse tells us about the life and God is willing to give us life. What kind of life? A long life, holy life and fruitful life. Some could enjoy a joyful and prosperous life. A life full of abundance for all His children. Someone says eternal life is a gift. But this eternal life is sufficient in quantity, superior in quality. Some says this life we experienced is a loving life from God.

The sixth verse says, “For God have made him (your name) most blessed forever; You have made him (your name) exceedingly glad with Your presence. Vs. 7 For the king (you and me) trust in the Lord and through the mercy of the Most High we shall not be moved or shaken.”

I like the word “most blessed forever”. God does not only blessed us He wanted to us to be the most blessed person on this planet earth. Everyone that believes is blessed but God wants us to be the “MOST” blessed person on this planet. And this is not only one time it says it is “forever”
The last verse says, God has made us exceedingly glad enjoying His presence daily. For our joy are to trust Him daily – His grace and mercy and we shall not be shaken in times of trials and needs.

May the Lord bless His Word to you today! Begin to enjoy the privilege of a king. You are that king.
