God can fill your "horn" - Psalm 87-89

Psalm 89:17 - "For you are the glory of their strength, and by your favor our horn is exalted."

Psalm 75:10 - "And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up."

Psalm 92:10 - "But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil."

Psalm 89:24 - "My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, and in My name his horn will be exalted."

I am not sure what the "horn" concept might have meant to the Old Testament Israelite. The closest I get to that word in my world is that it is not good "to blow your own horn." Apparently the horn was something that meant their prosperity or well being. When Gideon attacked his enemy with the small army that was left he was instructed to break jars with lights in them and sound a "horn." In Lamentations 2:3 we hear Jeremiah lament that God had destroyed all the "horns" in Jerusalem, meaning all the strength was gone. The horn apparently is a picture of strength, prosperity and well being. In this above Psalms we read that God is in control of the blessings that our "horns" receive. If we are to be blessed and have strong "horns" (success and blessing) it will be because God has filled our horns and given us the strength we need. In our society we are taught to be self-reliant and to be self-motivated and to be self-sufficient. However, in God's world we are taught to rely on God for everything, including our blessing, our strength, our success and our exaltation. Who is filling your "horn?" God will promote and exalt us as we wait on Him. He is in charge of our career and our path-way to blessings. He exalts our horns.
