If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive. Psalm 124:2-3

 

Psalm 124 was written to give recognition to God for saving the people of Israel from their enemies. The Israelites are God’s people (Deuteronomy 7:6-8) and still today He has kept His promise to protect them from their enemies. They can truly say “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side”.

 

As a child of God, you too can share in this same promise that God is on your side. Philippians 4:13 comes to mind when I think about the Lord being on my side, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me”. By faith in Jesus Christ, you have the ability to overcome your enemies, have strength to endure temptation and live a life pleasing to God. God provides all the resources you need to have a successful journey through this brief time on earth. Praising God for His goodness, even in the most dire situations, will grow your faith and give God the recognition He greatly deserves.

 

Whatever you are facing today, just know that He is on your side and without Him, it’s impossible to stand up to the Goliaths that come before you. Trust God with every aspect of your life and you too can say….”if it had not been the Lord who was on my side, I would have lost the battle”.
