Trust God Psalm 44:6

6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.



David knew the rich history of God's hand with the children of Israel. He knew how God delivered them from the hand of Pharaoh, which was no small feat. He knew the stories of how God kept the children of Israel in the wilderness until all but two men who left Egypt had died and then He led them into the Promised Land. He knew the stories of the battles that the children of Israel fought to possess the land and the stories of the battles that they fought to keep the land.

"3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them."

The Bible is so important because it is His Story and it is a record of who God is and what He has done in the lives of His people. For if God is indeed everything that He says He is and if He will do everything that He says He will do, then it is our responsibility to listen to Him and follow His direction and His leadership so He can do for us all that He so much wants to do in our lives and in the lives of those that we love.

That is why Paul wrote in Hebrews 11:6, "without faith it is impossible to please God." God wants us to know who He is and He wants to know what He wants to do for us. God wants us to walk with Him so He can do everything that He wants to do for us and with us. Life really is that simple. If we will surrender our lives to His will and follow His direction, He will meet our every need and He will take care of our battles and He will supply the desires of our heart and our lives will be filled to overflowing!

David understood that. He knew the rich heritage that the children of Israel had enjoyed. He knew all that things that God had done in the lives of His people. He knew that God wanted to do the same thing in his life as well and so he determined in his heart that he would"8boast all the day long, and praise God's name for ever. Selah."

Let us determine in our hearts to " 8boast all the day long, and praise God's name for ever. Selah." God will do for us as He has done for His own throughout the annuls of history as He continues to write His Story in our lives.
