Read: Ps. 144; 145; 88; 89
I found so many promises to pray over my children and my grandchildren. God trains their hands for war and gives them skill for battle. God is their loving ally, their fortress, tower of safety, rescuer, shield,and refuge. He will make the male flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. Our girls will be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. Each generation will tell the next of your mighty acts and power.
David stands on the fact that God always keeps his promises. In Psalm 89 he was facing rejection from his kingdom, public disgrace, fear, and uselessness. But, David remembers what God promised and that is what he stands on. God raised David up to be a warrior. David was the youngest of seven and made him God’s firstborn son. He took him from the common life and made him a king and anointed him to destroy his enemies. He told David that he would be the mightiest king, that he would love him and be kind to him forever and his covenant with him would never end. Those promises are what got David through his tough time.
God did fulfill his promises to David. He did give him back his kingdom and his honor. His bloodline brought us the King of Kings whose kingdom will never end. God has promised us the same thing. We can be that warrior and that king if we put our trust in God and hold on to His promises. The goodness of God can continue to prosper down our bloodline and we can rest in peace.
Praise the Lord forever! Amen and amen!
