“The Lord Our Valiant Supporter” 
 
knowing you are on Gods side
 
 
by Dona Hake
 
 

  Psalm 54:4-5 (VOICE)

“But see now! God comes to rescue me;
the Lord is my valiant supporter.”
 
 God desires to help us to be more than overcomers in this life, 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 God of ultimate strength and wisdom is standing with us, and He is on our side.
 
May our only concern be that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt 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 You and walking 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 for You Lord God are always true and right!  It is by Your all consuming power that we live and move and have our being.
