David Hamstrug Chariot Horses

When King David won battles over other kingdoms he would cripple the chariot horses of the vanquished armies (except for about 100 of them) so they could not be used any longer. The chariots were the greatest asset to war at the time and the Lord did not want His people to trust in them. (Psalm 20:7) "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." God always seems to make Himself weak, so that the world will see how strong He really is. Tying His hands behind His back and taking on Satan.

How does God get your attention?

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow... He does not change. Sometimes He tells us to "be still and know that I am God." Shut up, Be still, Keep quiet, who is to say how it translates to our own hearts. Shut up is a bit harsh to some ears, to others, perhaps it is just a way to get through our thick heads. God is not so passive as one might think... He has wiped out entire people groups, men, women, and children. GOD is awesome, mighty and should be feared always (not in terror, but in respect for His awesome power).

What god do you serve?

The highest price ever paid for anything in the world, was paid for you, by the only One that knows your true heart, yet still loves you; the One we ignore for more reasons than we can every excuse; the One that stands up for us even when we are turning away from Him; the One we will stand before one day, and realize that we have waisted so much time, money, and passion on things that have no value: Lord Jesus, forgive us! - Look at your day; what have you spent more time doing than anything else? That is your god.
