THE NAME OF THE LORD

THE NAME OF THE LORD
PSALMS 20:7
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God."
The major difference between worldly people and godly people lies in where they place their confidences. The children of this world trust in second causes, and think all is well if those do but smile upon them; they trust in chariots and in horses, and the more of them they can bring into the field, the more sure they are of success in their wars. Probably David has an eye to the Syrians here, whose forces consisted much of chariots and horsemen, as we find in the history of David’s victories over them (2 Sam. 8:4; 10:18).
“But,” say the Israelites, “we neither have chariots and horses to trust nor do we want them, nor, if we had them, would we build our hopes of success upon that; but we will remember, and rely upon the name of the Lord our God, upon the relation we stand in to him as the Lord our God and the knowledge we have of Him by His name,” that is, all that whereby He makes Himself known; this we will remember and upon every remembrance of it will be encouraged.
Friend, those who make God of all grace and His name their praise will make His name their trust.
Those who trusted in their chariots and horses are brought down and fallen, and their chariots and horses were so far from saving them that they helped to sink them, and made them the easier and the richer prey to the devil. A believing obedient trust in God of all grace and His name is the surest strong tower for your safety.
Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession: Father, empower me to maintain a continuous trust in your name Lord, in Jesus' name.
