Psalms 33:16-22 "No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you."

Do we think we are safe because of our vastly superior army? It didn't stop them on 9/11. Our only hope is the Lord and I fear we as individuals, as churches and as a nation are not right with God. We may have some repenting to do. Are we humble enough? What are we trusting in to save us? Where have we put our hope?
