*TOPIC:-* _THE CROWN OF PURE GOLD_
*TEXT:-* PSALM 21:1-13

THOUGH this Psalm is dedicated to David. King of Israel, we are going to look at it in relation to *1 Peter 2:9*. We are all royal priests. However, towards the end of King David's earthly sojourn he said "The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me: 'He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God..." *(2 Samuel 23:3-4)*. As young person you may be occupying one form of leadership position or the other. You need to have hoy and confidence in God's strength and His salvation, not in your strength. If you do that, list from *vs.2-9* the things that are likely to follow. No wonder David was such a great and victorious warrior. Look at *vs.7-9* again. This victorious disposition to all life's issues is available to you. You need to be aware that the Lord has anointed you and put a crown of gold on your head *(vs.3,5)*. So go on and live as a king, victorious in all your undertakings.

*Q.4* Is there any promise for me to believe or hope?

*Question for the week:*
How can we maintain purity in the face of today's pollution?

*PRAYER🙇‍♂️:-* Praise and worship God today in a kingly way with a royal dance.

Have a wonderful weekend🎊✨

We often feel exhausted, not knowing how we will be able to cope with the numerous problems we are facing. When David reached a low point in his life, he did not give in to despair but strengthened himself in the Lord. Learn from David’s example – spend time with God strengthening yourself, being re-energised and then trusting him wholeheartedly, believing that he is in you by his Spirit and believing that you can do whatever you need to do through him. Shalom!!!
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 30:6

*TOPIC:-* _OUR TRUST IS IN GOD_
*TEXT:-* PSALM 20:1-9

THE basis for the answer to the prayer in *v.1* can be seen in *Psalm 25:14*. The highest thing you need in life as a young man or young woman is the Almighty God on your side. You can imagine having the President of your country or even any country as your father. Read *vs.2-5* again and record in your notebook other things that can happen as you take on the Name of the God of Jacob. Can you confidently say, like David "I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His Holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand" *(v.6)* or are you afraid of His presence? See also *Romans 5:1-2*. People put their trust in all kinds of things or persons (wealth, position, family name, academic attainment, connections, princes etc.) but the Psalmist said he would put his trust in God *(v.7)*, and see the outcome of that in *v.8*.

*Q.5* Is there any prayer for me to remember?

*PRAYER🙇‍♂️:-* O Lord, cause all who put their trust in you never to be put to shame. May their enemies fall before them.

Have a Blissful Day🎊✨
