The
Lord is pleased by those who fear Him, worship Him, and place all their hope in
Him that He will show His great love for them. (Psalm 147:11)
Where
do you find security? Stocks and bonds, warehouses and trucks? Or, do you trust
in your wits and your ability to find the answer in a difficult situation?
Even
if you have become so diverse that your risks are lowered, and think you are so
big that you cannot fail – God is not impressed. Remember, He opposes the proud
(Isaiah 2:12). The Psalmist here contrasts the things that people trust and
value – the strongest horses of a mighty cavalry and the courageous men of a
powerful army – with the simple humility and submission that pleases the Lord.
No matter what your wealth or strength; no matter how many weapons and defense
systems you may have, you are not secure apart from God. Everything you value
can be gone in an instant. God’s love is forever.
Recognize
this truth today, and you will learn to appreciate and experience God’s love in
a new, exciting way.
