"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Psalm 20:7 (NKJV)
I really hope and pray that my last blog got many of you thinking, reflecting, and possibly acknowledging some “chariots” you may have gotten used to in life. Over the two weeks since writing that blog, I have had to come face to face with and acknowledge a “chariot” that I have tried and tried to deny over the years. I had to call it what it is: a resource I turn to at times when I feel like God is taking too long, or not showing up at all. I also recognize that it may not be easy to fully relinquish this crutch, but admitting is the first step. Right? My prayer is this: Lord help me to keep this resource in its proper place at all times. Help me to trust in you fully and to wait for you faithfully. Help me to truly acknowledge you in everything that I do, and then obey as you lead me.
As we look at the next portion of Psalm 20:7, let’s consider horses. "...and some [trust] in horses...." If chariots of old can be compared to resources of today, horses in Bible days can be compared to power of today. Actually, I think horses are still compared to power. (How many "horses" do you have under your hood??) It’s is interesting that the main comparison to horses of today can be (and often is) seen as a reflection of human power. But what other sources of power do we trust in today? I won’t step on toes or make a list. What some people look at as powerful, others see as shackles. Only you can decide for yourself. The point here is the same as our last blog. Is there anything on earth that makes you feel powerful, or that you look to as a source of power that you trust in more than or equal to God?
Let’s think about it, confess it, and talk about it if you so desire. Next week we wrap up this favorite verse of mine talking about the One True Source who is all powerful.
Victorious In His name,
