How can we get the Lord on our side? Is it through rigorous campaigning? Is it through generous giving? Or could we get God on our side by belittling the other side? These questions seem to be missing the mark.
It would be better for us to consider if we are on the Lord’s side! Then, we would know that God is on our side. For when we are trusting Jesus, obeying God, and following the lead of the Holy Spirit, then we are on the Lord’s side.
Being on the Lord’s side is not always easy. We many times will escape our enemies like a bird from the snare of the fowlers.
Enemies will attack us. Our pasts will be brought up. Our inconsistencies will be brought to light. Our stumbling in the faith will be used as a weapon against us. Thankfully, we do not need to depend upon ourselves to escape from our enemies.
The Lord’s name is our help. The one who made heaven and earth is with us when we are attacked. Our responsibility is to be on the Lord’s side before, during and after any attack we face. Will we be found on the side of the Lord?
Lord, thank you for delivering us from past attacks. It was not because of our merit that you did such work. We have trusted you. You have delivered us. Thank you for being with us as we escaped. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
