Key Scripture

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? This post is personal, but hopefully, it will inspire you, and remind you that God is on our side. Romans 8:31-32 NKJV

My Personal Reality of God’s Word

Oh, how I love the word of God. I have put my hope in God’s word; therefore, it is my comfort in sorrow. It is my strength in weakness. God’s Word is my light in darkness. It holds the answers to my questions and solutions to my problems. It is my song of victory!

My Real Life Recall

Do you recall how it made you feel when you knew someone was on your side? A more modern term now is “got your back.” There’s a sense of boldness, defiance, and confidence that escalates when you know someone’s got your back, and you don’t have to face the enemy alone.

I recall my school days when occasionally I’d get into an altercation with a peer. Thankfully, it was not a way of life for me. Nevertheless, it was the seldom occasion that being an only child was a disadvantage. However, I did have an ally that I could depend on. I knew my cousin, Joe, was on my side, and was well able to throw a good punch in my defense.

Usually after-school showdowns were planned in advance. Advance planning allowed for a build up of assurance and confidence as well. It helped you to prepare mentally. Although this was many years ago, I still recall the positive affect that having support had on me when facing a challenging encounter.

My Relevant Reassurance

Consequently, when I read Psalm 124, I could easily relate to how the Israelites could prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for worship. What an assurance to know that God is on our side. This song was one that the Israelites sang as they made their pilgrimage to the temple centuries ago. Yet, it is relevant today.

These are difficult times, and yet glorious times for the people of God. how reassuring it is to know that God is on our side. God’s got your back! We don’t have to face the enemy alone. He has provided an arsenal for defense, and a physical location that we can gather to be restored, or regroup, and refuel to continue walking in purpose and pursuing destiny.
