Food for Thought

Curled up on the couch this morning, I came across this verse:

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

Simple. Pointed. Relevant.

This discovery couldn't have been more perfect timing after yesterday's blog entry.  I've found it helpful today to rhythmically repeat and meditate on this verse, substituting modern-day symbols of power and strength for chariots and horses.

Some trust in money and some trust in popular opinion, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Some trust in appearance and some trust in tangible pleasures, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

What would those symbols that offer false security be for you?  What would it take for you and I to confidentally trust in the Lord, who calls Himself our God?
