On Our Side

By Paula Wiseman

 

“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)

    What great encouragement. This is so powerful, even when it seems so simple. The impact of the words…I had to read it a couple times to see… “Wow, He *is* on our side.” Excellent post!
