"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
now may Israel say;
"If it had not
been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: . . .
"Blessed be the
LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth." (Psalm 124: 1-2, 6)
Indeed, the Lord has not given us to a prey, but rather delivered us His Son to take our place:
"And he is the
propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins
of the whole world." (1 John 2: 2)
and
"[The Holy Spirit will convict you] of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." (John 16: 11)
Indeed, the Lord is on your side, because He turned His back on His SOn:
"For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5: 21)
Now we can shout with joy:
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be
content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.
"So that we may boldly
say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto
me." (Hebrews 13: 5-6)
Do not be of doubtful mind on this truth (Luke 12: 29), but allow the word of God to renew your mind (Romans 12: 2) to the truth that the Lord is with you, even when you fear, fail, or fall!
