Today's reading: Psalm 42-44
"I do not trust my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. It is you who gives us victory over our enemies; it is you who humbles those who hate us. O God, we give glory to you all day long and constantly praise your name." Psalm 44:6-8 NLT
I don't know about you, but I have found several things I 'counted on', to be flimsy at best when the time came I needed to lean on them.
Money. Grit. Determination. Control. Friends. Knowledge.
I don't trust those things any more. In trusting them, I was giving them too much power over my life and placing too many expectations upon them.
On the best of days, these all came up lacking.
But God?
Never has He let me down. I've seen too many of His miracles, I've watched as He stepped in time and time again, I've witnessed Him work things out that were tangled knots.
It is God I give all glory and praise to! It is God on whom I lean and depend!
