If the Lord had not been on our side

“If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:” - Psalms 124v2-3

Where would we be today if the Lord had not been on our side? Surely, with the psalmist we would say, “Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.”

Living for Christ has never been easy. We all have faced opposition at one time or another. There are people who just don’t want to see us succeed. Even worse they do not want the cause of Christ to succeed.

If God were not on our side we would surely be defeated. If God we not on our side we would be overwhelmed and swallowed up by the enemy. The great thing is that God is on our side! We can trust in and depend totally on Him. We need never be overwhelmed.

The next time it seems that you are about to be “swallowed up” remember that God is indeed on your side.
