Psalms
118:6 KJV
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
I have heard that someone once asked President Lincoln if
he thought God was on his side. Lincoln
reportedly said that his concern was not whether God was on his side but if he
was on God's side. I do not know if the episode is true or not but it sounds
like good advice; be sure we are on God's side rather than try to get God on
our side.
Yet here is King David boldly stating (under inspiration
of the Holy Spirit) that the Lord is on his side. Gill expands upon that and
says[1]
The Lord was on
David's side
Through all that he faced as a kingdom.
The Lord is on
Christ's side
As our Saviour and our Brother.
The Lord is in the
side of all the redeemed
- To keep
us until that day we enter heaven
- To stay
us through the trials of Christian life
- To use
us as vessels for his purpose
I want to always seek to be on God's side. But I am also
glad He is on mine.
