Verse of the Day 12/1

Verse of the Day 12/1

Psalm 20:7-8

New King James Version

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;

But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.

Today's verses came up in my daily reading in the Psalms.  As I read thesen words I wondered how these words would be changed today.  What do people put their faith and trust in.  Some trust in bank acounts of 401K's, others trust in fast cars, some trust in government to solve their problems.  But tor those of us who trust in Christ, we still trust in the name of the Lord our God.

My reading in Proverbs this morning brought me to these verses:

Proverbs 18:10-12

New King James Version

10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

The righteous run to it and are safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem.

12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.

Running to our bank accounts or 401k's may solve some problems but they will not save us.  They won't bring healing or hope.  We run to the Lord,  our strong tower.  It is Him that we trust and find what we need.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be the name of the Lord Most High! (Repeat) The name of the Lord is a strong tower, The righteous run into it, And they are saved.

Blessings,

Mike

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.  NIV

The Assurance of God's Saving Work

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

20 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob [a]defend you;
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
3 May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

4 May He grant you according to your heart's desire,
And fulfill all your [b]purpose.
5 We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves His 

anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.

9 Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.
