**Unshakable Foundation**
In a world where uncertainty reigns, where do you anchor your hope? Is it in the fleeting promises of wealth, status, or power? Or do you find solace in the unchanging nature of a higher power?
The ancient wisdom of Psalm 20:7-8 reminds us that true security lies not in the things of this world, but in the unwavering presence of God. “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.”
We often find ourselves entrusting our well-being to the fragile vessels of human achievement. We polish our chariots of success, groom our horses of self-reliance, and expect them to carry us through life’s turbulent waters. But what happens when these earthly crutches fail us? Where do we turn when our confidence is shaken?
The answer lies in redirecting our gaze. Instead of fixating on our own strength, we must learn to lean on the Rock that never falters. To trust God is to surrender our need for control, to relinquish our grip on the reins of life, and to rest in the promise of His sovereignty.
This is not to say that we should neglect our responsibilities or ignore the world around us. Rather, we must recognize that our true security lies not in our own abilities, but in the unfailing love and guidance of our Creator.
So, where do you place your trust? Is it in the shifting sands of human endeavor, or in the solid foundation of God’s promises? Take a moment to re-examine your priorities, to refocus your heart, and to rediscover the unshakeable foundation that awaits you.
**A Prayer for Trust**
Lord, forgive me for placing my trust in the things of this world. Help me to fix my eyes on things above, to take the focus off of myself, and to find my security in You alone. Strengthen me spiritually as I look to You for trust and dependence day by day.
