“Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we
call.” Psa
20:9
Even
the greatest of men may be much in trouble, thus the greatest of men must be in
great prayer. Confident as they are of success and triumph, yet they do not
forget their dependence on God; they do not forget that victory must come from
his hand. There was, indeed, exultation, but it was exultation in the belief
that God would grant deliverance - an exultation connected with, and springing
from prayer. Prayer is not inconsistent with the most confident anticipation of
success in any undertaking; and confidence of success can only spring from
prayer. Verse 5 says…”we will set up our banners” just as an
army unfurls its flag or ensigns to rally, fight and defend; Christians must
stand to fight behind the banner of their salvation in Christ and the Lord will
fulfill all thy petitions (vs 5). The
war has been won and victory promised, but battles still rage and linger until
His promised return. “Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we
call”…amidst our battles knowing “…the
Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving
strength of his right hand.” (vs 6)
