If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when our enemies attacked us, Then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; Then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us. Psalm 124: 2-4
Where would you be without God? Have you ever thought about that? What would your life be like if God was not pouring out on you his constant care and protection? It can conjure up some rather scary thoughts. We would be overwhelmed by life’s hardships and troubles if we tried to face these things on our own.
In Psalm 124, David lets his people know that they could not have overcome their enemies without God’s help—he lets them know it was God who delivered them from their enemies. We all have struggles and go through times of trial, but for those of us who depend on God, knowing fully we are his own, we can be rest assured that he will intervene as he has in the past and will do in the future.
If you are struggling at this time with health matters, financial matters, your spirituality, or trials of any kind, remain confident that God will continue to be on your side as he always has been. The waters may rise, and evil may surround you on all sides, but God is on your side. Knowing God and trusting in him makes all the difference. What more could you possibly need?
Loving Jesus, thank you for your constant protection and help. Amen.
