The Lord is With You

"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!
