His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him. For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. Psalm 21:5-6 – In the previous chapter we see God’s people praying for the king, asking for his blessing and protection. In our chapter today we see that God came through and provided such blessing and protection, and the people are praising the Lord because of it. The king was able to find victory in his battles and glory was coming his way, but our verses today highlight the truth surrounding such victory. The reason the king was able to stand victorious was because of God. Glory was coming to the king because God saved his life. The majesty and awe coming the king’s way came first from the Lord’s hand. God was the one who made the king blessed and the main reason the king had joy was because the king was in the Lord’s presence. The heartbeat of this psalm was to not make a big deal about the king, but to make a big deal about the God who brought the king victory and power. Our life ought to also not be about us and lifting our name high. For we would have no glory, no strength, no blessings, and no life if it wasn’t for the Lord providing such things within our story. We are alive today only because of the Lord’s allowance and blessing. Why then should our life be about us and lifting high our name? Shouldn’t it be about lifting high the name of the One who brought us to such a place of blessing? Dwell today on how you can make your name less and God’s name greater through your life.
