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)
Almighty God, My Father,
Watch over me today. Help me to fear nothing and no one, but You. Help me to rely completely on You—and the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love for me!
You teach me through 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—nor that his warhorse will bring him victory.
So, help me to examine my
heart and remove those things that I may have allowed to become my
“warhorse”—those things in which I have foolishly placed my trust and hope for
my safety, salvation, and deliverance.
Keep me from the false
hope that comes from allowing anything to remain in my heart that would try to
take Your rightful place—and let true hope fill my heart until all that is left
in my heart is my complete faith and trust in You alone.
Watch over me today. Help me to fear nothing and no one, but You. Help me to rely completely on You—and the mighty, saving and delivering power of Your unfailing love for me!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
