OCTOBER 2024: IF IT HAD NOT BEEN THE LORD WHO WAS ON OUR SIDE...
TUESDAY 01-10-2024; BECAUSE, THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE...
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: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:1-8.
This psalm says, if the Lord had given us up, here is how bad it would be, but PRAISE THE LORD! He has NOT given us up!! He has not given you up to your circumstances, He has not given you up to people who are against you, or donβt care if you get hurt. He has not left us in the hands of wicked people who hate God. We are not left to the mercy of wicked governments, or to powerful people and institutions in our culture that hate Christians. He has not given us up to be torn by their teeth! He is on our side!
As soon as we become a Christian, we automatically become a target of Satan. He works through unseen forces, and people, to dishearten, to divide, and to destroy us.
While we presently enjoy a status of love and favor and peace with God, we face great opposition, or even hatred and rejection, from the world.
Apostle Paul says, π We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 2 Corinthians 4:8. Satan works disguised or unseen most of the time. He sometimes works against us through the guise of circumstances, Paul said βFor we wanted to come to you--, more than once-- and yet Satan hindered us.β Sometimes there is this invisible roadblock in our way and we canβt seem to get things done that we want to do and need to do.
Satan works against us directly through unseen spiritual forces. Paul said we wrestle βagainst the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
Remember, π Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8. Our help is from the Supreme Being, the Supreme Power, the Supreme Judge. Our help is from the Maker of heaven and earth! When you trust God, you are trusting the Almighty Creator, who is fully able to help you.
PRAYER
LORD, Thank you for the month of October, I praise you for what you do. By your word save us. Carry us in your hand. Block the ways the devil follow to attack us. Pull them down that wants us to fall. Raise your children according to your grace. In Jesus Christ Name I pray π Amen.
I have the power of God around me. ALL I GOT IS VICTORY.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you Amen.
WELCOME TO OCTOBER 2024.
