This is a psalm that contains many themes. The
psalmist starts by blessing the Lord who trains his hands for battle. We need to
realise that part of God's purpose in our lives is to train us for battle. We often
think that God has got it in for us, when the truth is that He is stretching us,
seeking to make us stronger.
Then we see that God is our steadfast love.
We need to know that God loves us. We should ask God to make this a living reality
in our life. We are in a relationship with God. And He is our shield and subdued
enemies under us. We are in a good place!
This then causes the Psalmist to marvel that
God will do this for us. We are the focus of God's creation.
In the light of this he asks God to come down
and rescue him from his enemies. The truths that we have just read about should
have a real effect in our lives. Our relationship with God should define our lives.
Then we will sing a new song for our lives will
be radically different. It will also lead us to expect blessings from the Lord in
every area of our lives. Now all this is not a cheap prosperity, but if we look at
the life of Jesus it was radically different. So should ours be.
