SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
OBSERVATION: We cannot live without trust. Eating at a restaurant requires trust that the cook we cannot see will prepare the food properly. Driving a car requires trusting people we did not watch to assemble the parts safely. Think of all the people we trust when we find our seat on an airplane! We watch the time so that we will arrive at the set time, trusting the person we are meeting will be doing the same thing. What trust we put in medical personnel!
There are many things in which we can place our trust. Some are worthy of limited trust, and some are not. Only God is worthy of full trust. Only He is worthy of all our trust.
APPLICATION: It is important that I keep the Lord, His promises, and His presence in my active memory. The truth of God and His character, the truth of His promises need to be a part of every thought process. Trusting God is acting like what I know about Him is true.
PRAYER: “Jesus, Jesus, How I trust you! How I’ve proved you o’re and o’re. Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! O for grace to trust you more.” (William J. Kirkpatrick) Amen.
