Be Thou Exalted, O Lord

Be Thou Exalted, O LORD

Psalm 21:13, a verse from the Royal Psalms, is David’s song of thanksgiving for the victory granted by the Lord. In Psalm 20, he prayed for God to answer him in distress, send help from the sanctuary, grant aid from Zion, remember their sacrifices, fulfil the desires of the heart, make plans succeed, and grant all his requests. God responded in Psalm 21;

Two key components of this verse are: a) Exalting YHWH for His unmatched strength, mighty power, and miraculous deliverance. b) Through His strength, lifting our voices in song and offering praises to His glorious power, celebrating the wondrous miracles He has displayed for all to witness.

Noticing David’s declaration in the simple summary below, it is clear why his heart was filled with gratitude and worship. David did not have a stress-free life; he waited 12 years after the promise was spoken and was anointed by Samuel according to God’s instructions. His attitude and responsiveness in both good and difficult times are admirable.

God gave us exactly what we wanted; He did not hold back.  
God filled our arms with gifts; He gave us a royal welcome.  
God gave us a good life, lifted high and adorned with many colours;  
God piled blessings on us...  

Father God, show Your mighty strength so that no one can fail to see it. We go forth proclaiming the good news (Psalms 21:13 MSG). Thank You for the blessings of May 2026, and with grateful hearts we are ready to embrace June 2026 by Your Favour, Grace, and Guidance. For we place our Trust in the Lord, and through the unfailing Love of the Most High, we shall not be shaken. We lift our voices in Praise for Your Great and marvellous works; just and true are all Your ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Let us Exalt His Name together... Ps: 34:3
We too are close to receiving our own share of breakthroughs and victories.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London
God Blesses Israel and us.
Good Weekend
In His Grip

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...
