Psalm 20
This psalm is a response of the people to the king. Perhaps we can learn something about how we should respond to our leaders.
“May the Lord answer you when you are in distress”. We see the weak times of David, that at times he was in distress. We can tend to put leaders on a pedestal, but they can go through great difficulties, just like the rest of us. This can happen because of the normal trials of life, or because of the peculiar trials of leadership. The prayer is for God to protect the king, and for the help to come from the sanctuary. We need to remember that our help comes from the sanctuary of God, this is a great privilege. The prayer is for the king’s success, we should definitely not be looking for them to fail!
Our trust is in the name of the Lord, not in human resources. We should want good leaders, but our well being is ultimately not dependent upon the leader, but upon the Lord. To trust in anything else is to set ourselves up to fail.
