Trust, Hope, and Peace

"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;

But we will remember the name of the Lord our God."

Psalm 20:7

Reading: Psalm 20

In Psalm 20, King David took comfort in God’s trustworthiness. The Israelites had a powerful army, but they knew that their biggest strength came from “the name of the Lord” (v 7). They placed their trust in God’s name—in who He is, His unchanging character and His unfailing promises. They held on to the truth that He who is sovereign and powerful over all situations would hear their prayers and deliver them from their enemies (v 6).

While God may use the resources of this world to help us, ultimately, victory over our problems comes from Him. Whether He gives us a resolution or the grace to endure, we can trust that He will be to us all that He says He is. We do not have to be overwhelmed by our troubles, but we can face them with His hope and peace.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, give me the courage to trust in You. Help me to believe that You are all that You promise to be. In Jesus name. Amen..
