IF IT HAD NOT BEEN

Today's reading: Psalm 122-124

"If the Lord had not been on our side--let Israel now say--if the Lord had not been on our side when people rose up against us, they would have swallowed us alive because of their burning anger against us." Psalm 124:1-3 NLT

If we pause for a a short moment and consider how we might personalize these verse...

If it had not been for the Lord on our side when ...

'They' would have ...

Oh, the things He saves us from!

Gossipy words stamped out.

Accidents avoided.

Our names 'randomly' selected, or not selected.

Right place, right time, right circumstances.

A specific sermon on a empty-soul kind of day.

No matter what's swirling about us, how dark the clouds may seem or however long the night be lasting--we can stand with David and thank God that despite all these things, God is on our side--and Him being there thwarts our enemy's attempt at pinning us down!
