Bank Accounts, Backbone, BA Degrees?

Psalm 20: 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in thorses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

When you move out from your parents home, it's a wake up call to reality that now you have to pay the rent, the utility bills, the car payments, the insurance, buying groceries, and so on it goes.

You will be blessed if you turn your focus from dad or mom's hands to God's hand. He is the one who opens the door for a job, for your home, for the necessities of life.

David new that some nations of the earth were depended upon their horses, their chariots, their military strengths but David said instead, " We're going to remember the name of the Lord our God."

Education is good, talent is good, wisdom is good, but that's not what's going to get you through the tough places in life. Those great values in your life is not the main thing that will cause you to rise and win in life. Everybody is going to face setbacks and difficulties that need more than your own wisdom and talent to overcome.

David said, "Teach my hands to war." He was saying I can't lean on the victory that I had yesterday, I must have fresh knowledge and wisdom from God for each battle. David had just won a great battle with the Philistines, but ask the Lord again, "What do I do in this next battle?"

God tells David, " Don't go up like you did the last time against the Philistines, but rather wait till you hear the wind in the mulberry trees, then you will know that the Lord is going before you."

The wind before you is not your backbone or your bank account, or your BA degree, or your gifts or your talents, or your great abilities. You will succeed and win the battles of life because the Lord is with you. God says, "It's not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord." Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we will remember the Lord our God.
