Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord
our God. —
<http://links.rbcministries.mkt6605.com/ctt?kn=19&ms=MjU5OTg4NzMS1&r=ODIwMzQzMDkxMzQS1&b=0&j=ODQyMzY5NDM4S0&mt=1&rt=0>
Psalm 20:7

I like watching birds, an activity I developed while growing up in a forest
village in Ghana where there were many different species of birds. In the city
suburb where I now live, I recently observed the behavior of some crows that
interested me. Flying toward a tree that had shed most of its leaves, the crows
decided to take a rest. But instead of settling on the sturdy branches, they
lighted on the dry and weak limbs that quickly gave way. They flapped their way
out of danger—only to repeat the useless effort. Apparently their bird-sense
didn’t tell them that the solid branches were more trustworthy and secure
resting places.

How about us? Where do we place our trust? David observes in Psalm 20:7: “Some
trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our
God.” Chariots and horses represent material and human assets. While these
represent things that are useful in daily life, they don’t give us security in
times of trouble. If we place our trust in things or possessions or wealth, we
will find that they eventually give way beneath us, as the branches gave way
beneath the crows.

Those who trust in their chariots and horses can be “brought to their knees and
fall,” but those who trust in God will “rise up and stand firm” (v. 8).
—Lawrence Darmani

Have you ever trusted someone or something and been disappointed or let down?
Who or what was it? What do you trust in the most?

In a world of change, we can trust our unchanging God.

INSIGHT: In times of fading hope, when there seems to be no way out of total
disaster, we need to place our confidence in God, trusting that He has a
perfect plan. We can trust Him, even through times of doubt and pressure, trial
and temptation. He will lead us through the deep waters and bring us safely to
the other shore. Once there, we’ll be able to say with David, “We trust in the
name of the Lord our God” (Ps. 20:7). Adapted from
