March 6 ~ Psalm 20:7
Some people trust the power of chariots or horses, but we trust you, LORD God.

Strength… when used for the right purposes, it can wield power, protection, and movement! When used for the wrong reasons, strength can be brutal. It can bruise, break, and cause great harm – literally, physically and emotionally. And sometimes, we foolishly – or even unknowingly – place our trust in the wrong types of strength. We count too heavily on human beings, who can disappoint. We trust the power of money, material possessions, or status. And somewhere down the line, we realize that these things do not satisfy – or sustain us – and sometimes they even hurt us.
True power and strength lies with God. HE is the one who guides and protects us. He is the one with the ability to move mountains – both literally and figuratively – in our lives. Remember, GOD is the ultimate Superhero! God will not harm us – He is our shield. He will not bruise us and beat us down – He is our protection. He will not abandon us – He is our Savior. We must learn to trust God completely – to surrender to His will and KNOW that what He does in and through us is most important – and in our best interest. We must realize that trusting God is not scary – it is comforting. He is our “soft place to fall.” He is our Rock and our Redeemer.
Friends and family, money and possessions have their place and purpose in our lives. But without trust in God and a strong relationship with Him, all other relationships and “trusts” are subject to failure. Make sure your trust is placed properly and that your relationship with God gets top priority. His strength is always a sure thing!
