No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
Psalm 33:16-18 NIV
Apparently after John D Rockefeller (prob the world's richest man at the time) died, his accountant was asked;
"How much did he leave?"
The reply?
"All of it"
This part of the Psalm is about where we put our trust.
David had an army, was a warrior, had horses. He's not saying any of those are bad things.
But they aren't the answer to what our world, our hearts, really need.
My bank account, property, job, business, education, appearance, health, abilities, relationships, family... whatever those good things are, they cannot save.
May our prayer today be:
"My hope today Lord,
is in your unfailing love"
