Finding Strength in Trusting God

Takeaway: Trusting in God brings true strength, not wealth or power.

Context

This verse is part of a psalm written by David. He contrasts those who rely on their riches with those who find refuge in God. David is calling out the emptiness of trusting in anything other than God.

Meaning

This verse reminds us that true security comes from God, not from our possessions or status. When we lean on our wealth, we might feel strong for a moment. But that strength is often built on shaky ground. It can easily crumble when challenges arise. Wealth can be tempting, making us think we’re invincible. But it can’t protect us from life’s storms.

God wants us to rely on Him for our strength and support. Trusting God means recognizing that He knows what’s best for us. It's about turning to Him in prayer and seeking His guidance. We often forget that true power comes from vulnerability and faith. When we trust in God, we find lasting strength that money or status can never provide.

Live It

1. Write down three things you’re grateful for that money can't buy.
2. Reach out to someone going through a tough time and offer to pray with them.
3. Take five minutes today to reflect on a situation where you can trust God more.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What areas of my life do I tend to rely on instead of God? How can I shift my focus back to Him?
Pray: God, help me to trust You fully. Teach me to lean on You for my strength. Show me where I need to let go and rely on Your guidance.
