What does Psalm 21:13 reveal about God's strength and our response? The Heart of Psalm 21:13 “Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.” What This Verse Declares About God’s Strength • God’s strength is intrinsic—He does not acquire it; He is strength (Psalm 62:11). • His power is active and victorious, already displayed in the context of Psalm 21 through His salvation of the king (vv. 1–12). • The verse calls for exaltation “in” that strength, showing His might is the very arena where His glory shines. Why His Strength Matters Today • It secures our salvation—“The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation” (Exodus 15:2). • It sustains daily life—“I will sing of Your strength; yes, in the morning I will sing of Your loving devotion” (Psalm 59:16). • It guarantees final victory—“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power… and strength” (Revelation 5:12). Our Rightful Response • Exalt—lift Him high in word and deed. • Sing—declare His greatness audibly and joyfully. • Praise—highlight specific acts of His power, both in Scripture and in personal testimony. • Trust—lean on that same strength when facing temptation, suffering, or spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10). Bringing It Into Everyday Life 1. Start each day acknowledging His strength with a short verbal praise drawn from Scripture (Isaiah 12:2). 2. Replace anxiety with worship by singing or listening to hymns that magnify His power. 3. When victories come, immediately credit Him aloud—“Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength!” 4. Encourage others by recounting how His strength carried you through a recent challenge. |
