“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side… Then they would have swallowed us alive… Then the waters would have overwhelmed us." (Psalm 124: 2-4)
He is on our side.
Paul asks if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
Jesus says the very gates of hell cannot stand against the people of God. (Matthew 16:18)
Left to ourselves, we would quickly be swept away.
But we are not left to ourselves. Never.
He will never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5)
Blessed be the Lord. (Psalm 124:6)
