IS GOD ON YOUR SIDE?

 

IS GOD ON YOUR SIDE?

II Chron. 32:7-8 “Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side! He may have a great army, but they are just men. We have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” These words greatly encouraged the people. NLT

Jerusalem was under attack. King Hezekiah gathered together the officers of his army and gave them a pep talk. He reminded them of just how powerful they were with the Lord on their side. He reminded them that it wasn’t the size of their enemy that mattered; it was the size of their God. With God on their side, there was no army on earth that could defeat them.

Do you know the Lord today as your personal Savior? Be strong and courageous! No matter who or what you may be facing in life, with God’s help you can overcome it. Your circumstances may seem to be way too much for you to handle, and they may very well be. But, with God’s help, nothing is too much for you. Believe it! Let the Lord lead the way. Let Him have all of you and see what He can do.

Get what you know to be true out of your head and into your heart. Trust the Lord. You can do all things through Him who gives you the strength and means to do it. He will show you the way. He will provide whatever you need as you deal with life. He will work everything going on in your life out for your good and His glory. He loves you and wants to take your burdens off your shoulders and carry them for you.

Dear friend, take heart. It is the Lord of life who has promised to fight your battles for you. It is He who has promised to help you. Give Him whatever you are up against in life. He will take care of you. Look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our salvation. Let Him take care of you; you will be glad you did.
