The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
But the LORD watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
—Psalm 33:16-18 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Watch over me today, as I set my heart to reverently and completely rely on You alone—on the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love.
You show me in Your Word
that a king should not count on a great army to be able to protect and save
him, nor should a warrior believe that his great strength is enough to deliver
him.
Help me to examine and
remove those things that I may have allowed to become my “warhorse”—those things
in which I have foolishly placed my trust for my safety, salvation, and
deliverance—until there is only room in my heart for my trust in You.
Keep me from the false hope that comes from anything that
would try to take Your place in my heart—and let true hope fill my heart, as I look to You alone.
Watch over me today, as I set my heart to reverently and completely rely on You alone—on the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
