Salmo 21: "¡Hazme!": ¿Oración o Protesta? | Matthew Maher | Landmark Church

Psalm 21:1-2

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

People do not see prayers answered because they do not believe prayer is the answer.

Psalm 21:3-4

For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—Length of days forever and ever.

So whether we get what we want or we don’t want what we get, let us rest in knowing God’s got it.

Psalm 21:5-7

His glory is great in Your salvation; honor and majesty You have placed upon him. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

The Lord will not make much of Himself through people who think too much of themselves.

Psalm 21:8-10

Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; the Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, and their descendants from among the sons of men.

Those who hate God’s grace will get His wrath.

Psalm 21:11-12

For they intended evil against You; they devised a plot which they are not able to perform. Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

In the end, there are those who say “make me” as a prayer and those who say “make me” as a protest. God will empower one and devour the other.

Psalm 21:13

Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
