“But What Does God Think?”
 
 
knowing you are on Gods side
 
 
 
 
 
 
Psalm 54:4-5 (VOICE)
“But see now! God comes to rescue me;
the Lord is my valiant supporter.”
 
 
 
Yesterday I shared with you about God using our frailty.   If we permit Him, in our weakness, He can make us strong.   Let us think about our times of weakness especially when we are in a “life storm”.  Many times when the raging winds of doubt and unbelief try to torment us we can turn quickly to our own thoughts and ways of dealing with a problem.   May we stop ourselves and look to God and ask Him what His thoughts are on the matter that we are dealing with.  Let us look to Him in those times of weakness and draw upon His strength.
 
 
 
 
God desires to help us strategically win, and He promises supernatural strength to us as we lean upon Him in our day of battle. Thank God that in our time of trouble He desires to rescue us for as this scripture says, He is the valiant supporter. The word valiant means: boldly courageous;brave; and stout-hearted. Even if one is alone in the natural they really are never alone if God is on their side! It is so wonderful to know that the Ultimate Strength is standing with us, and He is on our side.
May our only concern be in knowing  that we are standing on the side of God in all matters. Here is a powerful quote by Abraham Lincoln that fits perfectly with our devotion today. In the time of battle and the concerns of it, he spoke these words….
 
 
 
“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side;
my greatest concern is to be on God’s side,
for God is always right.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
Father, help us to stay aware that we are always abiding in Your truth. We know that You are all truth, and that brings us strength in our day of trouble. Help us as well to have the courage to speak the truth even when it may not be the most popular thing to do. Help us to be mindful to stay on Your side, the side of truth, and cause us to speak truth in Your Spirit of love.
