“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” (Psalm 20:7)
We are reminded of Israel at the Red Sea being hotly pursued by Pharaoh and the Egyptian army. Pharaoh had “six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and captains over every one of them.” (Exodus 14:7) Plus he had many men on horse-back. Israel had nothing with which to fight and had no training in warfare.
When the people of Israel were frightened by the approaching army, Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever." (Exodus 14:13) And you know the rest of the story.
We have our armaments, our rockets, planes, bombs, war machinery, our peace conferences and all the rest. If we fail to trust in the Lord all of that is as children’s fire-crackers before the devil and his forces.
