Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and a few in horses, but we trust within the name of the LORD our God.”
This verse is one which I meditate on when the news feels heavy on my heart. We easily grow to be overwhelmed by what’s being reported, but our hope is just not within the schemes of men but within the Lord alone. God’s word reminds us that he’s on top of things; we will trust him even when the chaos of this world is throughout us.
We have a really short-term memory and wish frequent reminders that God protects us, he’s our great rescuer, and we will find refuge under the shadow of his wings. Just just like the wandering Israelites who so quickly forgot all God had done to avoid wasting them, we frequently behave the identical way. We quickly forget that God has and can sustain us.
Isaiah 31:5 says, “Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he’ll shield it and deliver it, he’ll ‘omit’ it and can rescue it.”
There is not any headline, agenda, technology, scheme, or disaster that God can’t help us navigate. He won’t ever leave us or forsake us. We must let these truths ground us even within the hardest of circumstances. They are the pillars of our peace and the one way we will stay grounded in a world rushing from one crisis to a different. When we’d like help, God is where we discover it, not from social media, Google, or AI. Our hope is in Christ alone.
