“I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?” (Psalm 56:4 NLT).

IN GOD WE TRUST

David wrote this psalm while he was on the run from King Saul and nearly captured by the Philistines in Gath. Everywhere David turned, enemies pursued him. Yet, he trusted in God, determined not to live in fear.
 
He asked the rhetorical question: “What can mere mortals do to me?” Which begs the answer: “Nothing!” When we put our trust in God, man cannot do anything to us. For the Lord is our shield and defender.
 
This is more than a motto for our money. It is a philosophy for life. In God we trust!
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we put our trust not in worldly wealth, nor our own human efforts, but in You. For You alone are God. And You are able to deliver us to the uttermost. We seek Your approval and Your applause and not the approval of man. Help us to keep our eyes stayed on You alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.
