Psalm chapter 20 verse 7

some trust in chariots and some in horses

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

What a great verse, what a confidence giving, confidence boosting, encouraging verse.

You look around at the world and you see all kinds of things that you might be tempted to put your trust in.

Like your job, your income, people around you, even good people that you love that you're tempted to trust in.

You think about power, symbols of power in countries and armies and just all kinds of different things in the world that

would say hey you can trust in this you can trust in that and the Psalmest here says I don't

trust in any of those things.

I have a much greater, more dependable place to put my trust.

And that is in the name of the Lord, my God.

For David to say this when he needs help, military help in battle.

He needs chariots, he needs horses, but he realizes the battle

is not ultimately won by chariots or horses. The battle is ultimately won by God.

I was reading the other day in Deuteronomy where Moses was recounting how God was

leading his people and Moses said it wasn't because we were greater than this other army.

It's because God was fighting for us.

And that's the whole point.

This is why we don't put our trust in anything in this world because our God is greater than

everything in this world. Our God is the only true reliable ultimate source of trust.

Our God is the only one who is worthy of all of our trust,
