Read: Psalm 33:13-20
The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.

16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
20 We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
Believe only. Doubt will cause you to fail.

You won’t sink if you keep your eye on the prize. Stay focused and don’t doubt.
