Psalms 20
Devotional:
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm. (Psalm 20:7-8).
When trouble comes, where do you turn? Some turn to advice columns or to their own ingenuity. Others might turn to old, destructive habits such as overeating or drinking too much. A doctor, counselor, or pastor might offer support, but Psalm 20 reminds us that we should first turn to God. “Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of the Lord our God.” What challenge or problem are you facing today? Have you turned to God for help?

Pray it:
Father, I confess that I often look to things of this world for help in times of trouble rather than to you. Help me to turn first to you for help and then to use the various means of wisdom and aids you have provided…not as saviors, but as gifts and tools from you to help me. Amen.
