Grace for your spirit September 3, 2009

Grace for your spirit

Had it not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us; Psalm 124:2-3

This was the song David wanted the people to sing and remember the lessons. We all need to remember that we must have the Lord on our side in order to achieve victory against our enemies. It is a foolish person that feels their victories are won alone. As we sing that song of thankfulness, it would also be helpful to remember that we need to be on His side as well. When God’s people forget that, the Lord is no longer on our side. Then defeat is inevitable. During one of the darkest times of the Civil War, a general said to Lincoln, “Don’t worry Mr. President. The Lord is on our side.” “Yes”, he replied, “but are we on His side.. Whatever battle we may face in life, if we face it with the Lord, we will be the majority.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
