TRUST IN
THE LORD
AT ALL COSTS
BY ANGUS BUCHAN
Psalm 20:7 (NKJV), “Some trust in
chariots, and some in horses; But we
will remember the name of the Lord
our God.”
Psalm 20:7 is a very clear Word on how we are
supposed to be living in these last days. People We see so sadly that towards the end of his
are stressing all over the world. We are seeing
the biggest refugee crisis since the Second
World War. We are seeing diseases surfacing
that have never been seen before. We are
experiencing natural disasters such as tsuna-
mis, earthquakes, droughts and floods like we
haven’t seen before. People are desperately
running to and fro. They do not know what to
do. Governments are collapsing, because of
corruption and of leaders that are always trying many fighting men he had in Israel. As a new
to make a plan, and of course it never works.
You and I need to put our whole trust in the
Lord Jesus Christ.
David killed Goliath, because he trusted in
the Lord. It was so ridiculous that this young
boy, who was probably only about thirteen
years old and could not even wear King Saul’s
armour, because it was too heavy for him,

reputation right through the country and was
undefeated. He was of giant proportions and

life, he had become the king of Israel and the
most famous king that Israel has ever had
(apart from the Lord Jesus Christ). He was the
most powerful king who had the greatest army
and the greatest influence in the Middle East.
He decided to put his trust in man and not in
God, after God had blessed him so richly. We
see in 1 Chronicles 21:1 that King David took a
Census (a headcount). He wanted to see how
believer I could never understand why God got
so angry with David, because he took a census.
God got so angry with David that 70,000 men
in Israel died of a plague and that was the
punishment. The reason being was that David
started off as a shepherd boy trusting God
for everything, but when he grew older he
started to put his trust in his possessions and
in his own personal power. So what actually
happened was he took a headcount to try and
work out how powerful he was on his own
We need to finish the way we started. We need
to finish in the spirit. If we look at the Word of
God in Galatians 3:3 (NKJV) the Bible is very
specific, “Are you so foolish? Having begun in
the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by
the flesh?” We need in the last days to exercise
our faith and to trust God like never before. If
we are going to finish strong we need to finish
off the way, we started. That is trusting our
Lord Holy Spirit to guide us, to protect us and
to be a friend to us who sticks closer than any
brother.
May God bless you as you wait for His soon
coming. Remember the Bible is so clear in
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV), “But without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he who comes
to God must believe that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
