Psalm 20

"May he grant your heart's desires 
and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy when we hear
of your victory
and raise a victory banner in the name 
of our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers."

This is an encouraging Psalm for King David, and it comes to my mind is how often do we encourage each other in the faith?  Do we lift up people in their victories, or do we selfishly wonder why God seems to answer other people's prayers, and not our own?

Jesus prayed that there would be unity among believers, just before he was betrayed and taken to the cross.   Joy in each other's accomplishments is part of that unity.   Sharing moments of answered prayer, and thanking God for each other is not only what we do, but one of the best evangelism methods that we can have.   

We need to take time, to share in each others joys, and pains, and openly celebrate what God has done in each of our lives.  It's a great lesson of Psalm 20 of how we can lift people up.
