“TRUSTING IN GOD FOR SUCCESS”
DISCUSSION
During David’s rule the
Israelites faced many different enemies.
In almost every battle the Israelites were out manned and out resourced,
yet they continued to succeed. In Psalm
20 David writes a song that offers an explanation on how they continued to thrive
in battle against their enemies. “Some
trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our
God. They collapse and fall, but we rise
and stand upright.” (Psalm 20.7-8). God was the reason that they were so
successful. Even when the enemy was
larger, had more resources and their outlook was grim, God gave them the
victory. Let that be a lesson for us
today. You may be the only Christian at
your office, in your classroom or in your family, but you and God make up the
majority. God has the power to “Answer
you in the day of trouble” (Psalm 20:1). He has the means of “granting you your heart’s
desire” (Psalm 20.5a). He can “fulfill
all of your petitions” (Psalm 20.5b).
David is able to know these truths, because he has seen it and
experienced it first hand over and over and over again. We have all experienced it as well, but
sometimes it is good for us to be reminded.
It doesn’t matter what battles, struggles and problems we may have to
face; God is our answer for success.
