What do You Trust In?

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7 In the Bible there are many names for God. These different names teach us that He is the Creator, that He sees everything all the time, that He promises He will provide, and that He is the sovereign Lord who rules over all. All these names reinforce our awe of God and reenergize our faith in Him through the good times and bad. We tend to trust in tangible things that are inherently strong, such as chariots and horses – or possessions and bank accounts. In fact, we often trust in our own abilities, our status, our parents’ money, our spouse’s reputation, or a hundred other things before we trust in God. It’s as if we try everything else and then realize, “Oh, I should have trusted God!” We have a tendency to trust in powerful things we can see instead of the God we cannot see. Those things have value, but they also have limitations. And they can vanish overnight. On the other hand, God’s infinite love and awesome power – represented and described by His names in Scripture – should make Him our first resort, not our last. What are some visible things in your life that are easy for you to trust in? What would it mean for God to become your first resort instead of your last resort for trust?
