Psalm 20:7 -- On Trusting in the Lord

"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Psalm 20:7


This one was a little bit amusing to me, comparing horses, chariots, and the Lord. :) But really, a LOT of the things that we compare to God are ludicrous, especially when we trust in them instead. Nothing can stand up to that sort of comparison. God is trustworthy, and nothing else is. Even other people who are completely well-meaning can't control their own circumstances well enough to make the kind of promises that the Lord gives us, because they can't keep them. Only God has the will, power, knowledge, and immortality to deliver the happy ending that he promises us.

Today, let's trust in God and not in horses, chariots, or whatever else we've been leaning on. Only God can guarantee help to get us to our best selves, and only God will deliver a happy ending even when we can't possibly imagine how to get there. Let's stick with him and do his will so that we can get there together.
