Scripture: Psalm 20:7-8 (NASB 1977)
"Some boast in chariots, and some in horses; But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.
They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stood upright."
Commentary:
Control of airspace and sea lanes can look like decisive strength. People can feel that shift immediately when alerts quiet and flights reopen. Yet Psalm 20 presses the deeper issue: where confidence is placed when power is on display. This cooperation around Israel sits in a long biblical pattern of nations aligning and posturing around the land God gave to Israel, and that carries unique prophetic weight.
