Psalm 124: 2-3, 6, 8
What if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us? They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger. ... Praise the Lord, who did not let their teeth tear us apart. ... Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
We need to be sure that we are on the Lord's side, if we want Him to be on our side. Public people have public enemies, and we private people have personal enemies. We all need to consider that God is over us all, and His plans for us all, both individually and nationally, are to give us hope, prosperity and a good future.
If we reject God's good ways and decide to go our own way, then we cannot expect for Him to defend and protect us; and our enemies' burning anger would have their teeth tear us apart. And we would have ourselves to blame.
God loves us, His creation. He made us, he put His order and His beauty into what He has made, and He wants us to cooperate with how He designed this world to run; so He gave us His Word to teach us and His Spirit to guide us. That is why we all, each of us, need to inform ourselves of God's program and plan, and conform our thinking processes to align with His. Then we will find everything "falling into place" in our lives, and enjoy all the benefits God programmed into the world for us to benefit by, and He will receive all the credit, the glory, for having planned and designed it so.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
