If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say— if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; then over us would have gone the raging waters. Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalms 124:1-8 ESV)
Have you ever felt like something was just waiting in the wings, like this tiger crouched in the tall grass ready to bounce and pounce upon you?
Many things in our lives are just waiting in the tall grass to jump up and over take us. So why don’t they?
Our lives seem to take turns and go up and down, like a roller coaster. For instance our finances have not been the best since I have been on leave from call, and this past weekend I went to get a tire repaired and was met with, the tread is to low, we can’t repair it. The tires in question should have had 40,000 more miles of tread left. Of course they can’t warranty them. And new ties that would replace what we had would be $240… Our bank account hiccuped at even the thought of this. So I asked about lower tread life, and that was $170. My bank account still did not like that. So I left that place and went to another store, and here they had a lower tread life tire for $222 and 6 months Interest free on their credit card. And we just got $220 for mileage to an event we went to for our congregation. I also had to replace glasses for me and 2 of our daughters and that was $150.70. And I had just recently gotten $150 for being a supply pastor for a congregation. Many would say these are coincidences, but I say there are no coincidences, these are Godincidences.
You see we re not given over to the avenger, because we are not to be prey, when the Lord is on our side. So who is on your side?
