In God We trust!


SCRIPTURE Psalms 56:3-4
3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
OBSERVATION
PHILADELPHIA - An unknown number of new George Washington dollar coins were mistakenly struck without their edge inscriptions, including “In God We Trust,” and are fetching around $50 apiece online. The properly struck dollar coins, bearing the likeness of the nation’s first president, are inscribed along the edge with “In God We Trust,” “E Pluribus Unum” and the year and mint mark. The flawed coins made it past inspectors and went into circulation Feb. 15, 2007. You might say how could this mistake been made! Do people forget about God or do they purposefully leave him out of their lives.

APPLICATION
David knew that it would be a grave mistake to trust in man instead of God. David came against a lot of enemies during his reign as King. He did not fear, because he knew that if God was for him who could be against him. No money, power or army could match God's greatness. David was on the winning side and was a mighty warrior because he trust in a mighty God.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to always trust in you. I pray for our nation, that they will repent and come back to you. There is no war that we can win without your help. You preserve us and keep us alive because of your grace. We do not trust in our wealth, position or power. We only trust in you. We know that you are a good God and we should fear you instead of fearing man. Teach us how to trust in you, and I pray for people who are trying to remove you from our country, communities and coins. We pray that you bring an awakening, so that they to could see your glory.
