September 29, 2025, Psalm 60:1-12

60 O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;
    you have been angry; oh, restore us.
² You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
    repair its breaches, for it totters.
³ You have made your people see hard things;
    you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

⁴ You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
    that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
⁵ That your beloved ones may be delivered,
    give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

⁶ God has spoken in his holiness:
    “With exultation I will divide up Shechem
    and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
⁷ Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet;
    Judah is my scepter.
⁸ Moab is my washbasin;
    upon Edom I cast my shoe;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

⁹ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰ Have you not rejected us, O God?
    You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
¹¹ Oh, grant us help against the foe,
    for vain is the salvation of man!
¹² With God we shall do valiantly;
    it is he who will tread down our foes.

Do you trust more in people or in God when you need help with a problem? I think I initially go to friends and then I realize they do not speak wisely. That is when I turn to God. You would think I would learn!
