Scripture:

Psalm 20:7

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God

"Where You Put Your Trust Matters" 

As young men, we are taught to be self-reliant, that the only person we can rely on is ourselves. People let us down, jobs let us down, things let us down, so we project this idea that we can't trust anyone.   But this is simply not true, and I love our portion today because it is a reminder, David again is reminding us that where we put our trust is "important," that we should put our trust in the Lord.   His name is good, His promises are good, there are many things you could put your trust in, but none compares with God.   Notice that David contrasts chariots and horses with the Lord, and he says some trust in them, because they are mighty for battle, horses and chariots, they are game changers, they often determine victory in battle.  But what David is saying in his contrast is that greater victories are always had when we "Trust in the Lord."

Don't look to things to satisfy, or to put your trust, don't rely on things that could be take away, or could let you down in the moment of need, put your trust in the Lord, He will never let you down, He will never fail you, He will never leave you in your need, He will not forsake you, His name is Good.

Lord, thank you for your "Good Name," that we can rely, trust, depend on you, that you are better than 10,000 horses or chariots, that  they cannot compare to you, you never let us down, you never leave us, you never forsake us, your way is better, your strength is stronger, your power is greater, your purposes are fulfilling, we can put our trust in your good name, thank you Lord, in Jesus' name, Amen
