This chapter speaks about where our dependence lies. When we are really in need of help in our lives where or who do we go to for help? Do we rely on ourselves, our families, friends or our material wealth and possessions? Israel looked to the strength and power of Egypt but God points out here that they are ‘only men’. The chapter warned Israel, and warns us today, about relying on ‘earthly things’ and exhorts us to ‘look only to the Lord God of Israel’. He also promises in these verses to fight for us, shield, deliver and rescue us – what more do we need in times of trouble? (See also Hebrews ch12 v 2)

Yep thanks Dot, good to be reminded because I so often find the tricky bit is regularly, daily remembering to depend on HIM as opposed to myself or anything else.
