Psalm 21 (KJV) - His glory is great in my salvation

From Psalms

Psalm 21
(For the director of music.  A psalm of David.)

¹The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD;
      and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
²Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
      and hast not withholden the request of his lips.        Selah.
³For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:
      thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
⁴He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him,
      even length of days for ever and ever.
⁵His glory is great in thy salvation:
      honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
⁶For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:
      thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
⁷For the king trusteth in the LORD,
      and through the mercy of the most High
      he shall not be moved.

⁸Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:
      thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
⁹Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath,
      and the fire shall devour them.
¹⁰Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,
      and their seed from among the children of men.
¹¹For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device,
      which they are not able to perform.
¹²Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,
      when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

¹³Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:
      so will we sing and praise thy power.

Verses 1-7 echo my current state so well.  I am so grateful for the blessings of God, the 12 steps and the people around me.  I asked for a new life - and He granted me my wish.  I have more joy, more happiness, more strength, and more courage.  His glory is great in my salvation.  In his mercy I shall not be moved.

Then psalm 21 concludes (lucky verse 13) this sentiment so well.  I am glad that I have this blog to tell my story and to share is his glory, where I can exalt His strength and praise his power.

As I make my list of people to whom I need to make amends to, I am grateful for the opportunity.  I know it will be a growing experience.  I know that it will be an opportunity to reflect the love God.  As I've been learning, being Christian means being conspicuous about my love of my brothers and sisters.

Thanks for letting me share.
