This I Know:

God

Is On My Side!

Scripture

Psalm 56

⁹ My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
    This I know: God is on my side!
 
¹⁰ I praise God for what he has promised;
    yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.
 
¹¹ I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?

Observation

It should be enough for you and I today just to know that God is on our side! If you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ and are living for Him then you can be certain that God has your back.

Do we live like God is on our side?

Have you prayed today? Have you read His Word? Are you trusting in Him to take you through this day in victory?

Defeated Christians … those two words should never go together!

I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?

Application

Today I will trust in my God because He is on my side. He is directing my life. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I know that 

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
    he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
    and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
    He will shelter you with his wings.
    His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
    nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
    though ten thousand are dying around you,
    these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
    and see how the wicked are punished.
⁹ If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,
¹⁰ no evil will conquer you;
    no plague will come near your home.
¹¹ For he will order his angels
    to protect you wherever you go.
¹² They will hold you up with their hands
    so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
¹³ You will trample upon lions and cobras;
    you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
¹⁴ The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
    I will protect those who trust in my name.
¹⁵ When they call on me, I will answer;
    I will be with them in trouble.
    I will rescue and honor them.
¹⁶ I will reward them with a long life
    and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91
