Joy in the Salvation of the Lord
Psalm 21

1 The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked life from You, and You gave to him—
length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
6 For You have made him most blessed forever;
You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

What in this Psalm blesses you?
All seven verses really. That is why it is one of my favorites, it rejoices my heart to speak them.
I pray/recite so many of the Psalms, this one always stirs me deeply.

It is good to recite God's word, especially if we feel any disconnect in our thinking, to align our thoughts with God's. To get a balance. For in doing so we walk out God's thinking, not our own human will or thoughts.

It reminds me of a time that was very tough for me. Where in my life everything seemed lost. Nothing seemed to work out. But when I would visit churches people would often, speak to me the verse of scripture.

Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

I would have to walk around the room quoting that verse when all else was pushing me away.

Hence my current username, FutureAndAHope.
