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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses.The most terrible instrument of war in David's day was the war chariot, which mowed down opposing wariors like grass: the very sight of them, melted men's hearts. yet the discerning eye of faith sees more in an invisible God than in all these horrific machines of destruction.

Saints should consider the name of Jehovah to be a far better defence.

Alas, how many of us, who profess to be His, are depending upon the arm of flesh in some shape or other.


the name of the LORD our God. The name of God is Yahweh; the self existent, independent, immutable, ever present, all filling I AM. May the Holy Spirit reveal it to your soul!

Isaiah 31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD!

Proverbs 21:31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance is of the LORD.

Psalm 33
16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
