Psalm 124:1 (ESV): “1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—”
What a comforting thought—our Creator and God is not only thinking about us but also acting on our behalf. He is on our side, making a way for us through every circumstance. If God is for us, who can be against us?
David pens this psalm as a reminder to himself and to the nation of Israel of God’s continual aid on their behalf. Had God not been on their side when their enemies rose against them, they would have been toppled. Had God not been on their side when the flood of troubles came raging through the land, they would have been swept away. The reason the nation stood firm was because God was on their side.
Where would you be in life if it had not been for the Lord being on your side? Imagine what your story might have been had God not intervened on your behalf. He is always interceding for you because He is on your side. Amid your troubles, praise Him. In your darkest moments, He still stands for you. He will never abandon you. He loves you and is at work in and through you.
Let your mind dwell regularly on this thought: “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side.” Praise God—He is for us!
Father, thank You for being on our side. You are a wonderful and faithful God. May our lives always reflect gratitude for Your favor and presence. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
