This
I
Know:
God
Is On My Side!
Scripture
Psalm
56
8 You
keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
Observation
Nothing
touches me ... not one thing … without first going through my
Heavenly Father.
Think
about that … If you have placed your faith and your trust in the
Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior then the same
thing is true for you!
Not
one thing that happens to me or that happens to you ever surprises
Him. And He has allowed it!
Even
when terrible things happen to us ... like … a life threatening
illness like cancer or a heart attack, the death of a loved one, a
financial disaster, the loss of a job, or a broken relationship, etc.
etc. etc., even in the worst of times, our God promises us this: “And
we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love
him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Now
none of the things mentioned above are good but God promises that He
will work even those bad things around for our good, because we love
Him.
We
are children of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
I
recently heard Rick Warren say that there are 7,000 promises in the
Bible – how many of those promises are we holding on to right now?
God
is on our side! Why should we be afraid? What can mere mortals do to
us?
Proverbs
3:5-6
5 Trust in
the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Psalm
139
1 O Lord,
you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
Application
I
know that no matter what happens today that through it all God is on
my side! How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, when I look back over my life I can see that You have been
with me every step of the way. And I know that You will always be
with me. You have me in the Palm of Your Hand. Nothing touches my
life without Your permission. Help me to trust Your heart when I
cannot see Your Hand in what is going on in my life. Help anyone that
may be reading this blog to do the same.
