As we see in Psalm 44:1-12, It is vital that we put our trust in the right place. Your trust should not ultimately be in your own strength…’It was not by their sword that they won… I do not trust in my bow’ (vv.3,6). Rather, we are to trust the Lord: ‘It’s you, you who saved us’ (v.7).
The psalmist looks both backwards and forwards in this passage. As he looks back he says, ‘It was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them’ (v.3). As he looks forwards he says, ‘You are my King and my God… Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes… you give us victory over our enemies’ (vv.4–5,7).
Do you need a victory today? Place your trust in God…
