“16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.” (Psalm 33:16-19 NIV).
In whom or in what have you placed your trust today? Far too many believers give lip service to God but are looking to the things of this world to bring security, comfort and happiness. These things cannot save. The happiness and fulfillment they bring are temporary at best. Solomon wrote, “Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.” (Ecclesiastes 5:10 NIV). Neither money or men are a safe bet for personal safety.
God on the other hand is a safe bet. He who spoke the worlds into existence cares about you immensely! He does have the power to protect, deliver and give you purpose and meaning. Notice that the Psalmist is careful to point out that “the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.” While God sees everything (Yesterday’s TFTD), He only watches (with the intent of personal care) those who put their faith in Him. Are you under His care today? Have you put your faith in Him? I pray that you have.
