GOD IS ON OUR SIDE!
Romans 8:31, KJV. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
This verse from Romans really says to us, “With God on our side…how can we lose?"
It deals with faith…
Do you know that your faith is like a muscle? Opposition may strain it, but in the end it grows stronger…The Psalmist David understood this principle…His enemies continually hounded him…In other words, his enemies put his faith muscle through a major workout, which just made his faith stronger...
Even when he was being anointed to sit on the throne, Saul the old King was still occupying it…But instead of losing faith in God’s promise, David understood that, “The Lord has set apart (marked) the Godly man for Himself,” (Psalm 4:3)… So he declared, “In peace I will lie down…for you…Lord make me to dwell in safety…”(Psalm 4:8)…
When the Philistines surrounded him he prayed, “When I am afraid, I will…trust in You…(Psalm 56:3)… And when he ended up in a cave while fleeing from Saul’s jealous rage he said, “I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until this is past…” (Psalm 57:1)…
Our faith will only be strengthened when we, Like David, face the calamites of life…with Faith in Our Heavenly Father…
During the third century, when St. Felix of Nola was running from his enemies, he also, took refuge in a cave…Eventually a small spider began to weave a web across the small opening; sealing it off and making it look like nobody had been inside for months…As a result his pursers passed by and didn’t bother looking there…
Later, stepping out into the sunshine, Felix declared, “Where God is, a spider’s web is a wall…and where He isn’t, a wall is but a spider’s web…”
Jesus said, “You’ll have problems on earth; people will disappoint you, and you’ll disappoint yourself…”
In this life we may fine ourselve in a cave of isolation because of all the problems we are facing…sometimes we will end up in a cave because of something we did, other times because of circumstances we have no control over…
What we need to remember is this, “God is with us either way…”
Like the Apostle Paul said in opening text, “With God on our side…How can we lose…?”
Thanks and May the Lord bless you this week…in Jesus name…
