Psalm 20 verse 7 ESV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
That is a resounding good verse, you could proclaim it at speakers corner.
When you hear someone speak, if they are freely expressing their own views,
listen to what they are saying, where is it coming from and where is it leading ?
If they are promoting righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and
gentleness, they are inspired by the Spirit of Christ, for the light of Christ is in them
and they are leading their listeners to all that is wholesome.
If the words of the speaker are promoting a self centered perspective, self indulgence,
self fulfillment and self justification;
That comes from habits of thinking and doing things which are characteristically for
for our own pleasure; And that leads to a selfish life.
If the words of the speaker are stirring up envy, jealousy, division, violence, greed,
revenge or hatred, the speaker is inspired by a very dark spirit
which leads to despair.
Choose life, trust in the name of the LORD our God.
If your trust in the name of the LORD our God
has, over the years, affected your habits of thinking and doing,
your perception of people and things, your desires, your commitments, and your attitudes,
then you are blessed in deed.
