May we shout for joy
over your salvation (victory), and in the name
of our God set up our banners! – Psalm 20:5
The people in this psalm are rejoicing with their
king as he prepares for battle, believing in advance that the victory will be
theirs. I love the word picture of shouting for joy over their salvation and
erecting victory banners at the end of battle.
Can you feel the excitement and confidence of
sure victory? Through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, our salvation is more sure,
more secure than anything on this earth. God has given Himself, the Holy Spirit
as the guarantee of His covenant. He who
has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as
a guarantee. – 2 Corinthians 5:5
Let’s shout for joy! He has won the victory
of our salvation. Who shall bring any
charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who
is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was
raised— who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
–Romans 8:33-34
Our God is victorious over death! O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? – I Corinthians
15:55
Time to set up our banners! …in
all these things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us. –Romans 8:37
Time to be victorious and courageous, remembering what we trust in:
Some trust
in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of
the Lord our God. –Psalm 20:7
