“If the LORD had not been on our side — let Israel say– if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away. Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. ” Psalm 124 (NIV)
For just a moment consider what would have happened to you at those critical moments of your life if God had not been on your side.
Would you have been swallowed up by the attacks of the adversary? Would his angry assault have engulfed you? Would the torrent of his temptations swept you away? What would have happened if God had not been on your side?
Yet, we can praise God because He was and is and always will be on our side!
God didn’t allow the enemy’s teeth to tear you apart. Praise Him! The enemy laid a trap for you, but God broke the enemy’s trap and helped you to escape. Praise Him!
Our God is the Creator of all the universe! He is on our side! Our help is in his name! Since God is for us, who can possibly be successful against us?
Dear Father, thank you for being on our side. In every battle, grant us the fortitude to always trust your name. This I pray in the name of Jesus. AMEN
Be encouraged today because God is on our side,
