Imagine facing a room full of your greatest enemies. They hate you. They're all hoping you'll fail at everything you put your hand to. They will do anything in their power to ensure your failure. You tremble and cower, knowing the combined strength of all those enemies is easily able to overpower you.
We have sayings about friends who support us. She's got my back. He's got my six. She's always here for me.
Everybody knows what those phrases mean. If you've got someone's back, if you're watching their six, it means you're protecting the areas they can't see. If you tell someone you're here for them, it means you'll drop everything to help them out, to listen, to support them. All of those phrases cover a lot of bases in a typical friendship.
But no matter how supportive our friends are, things happen. We're human. We let people down, in spite of our best efforts, and people let us down.
So imagine that room full of enemies again. And then you look over your shoulder. And you remember Who is on your side.
"... who can be against us?"
The enemy does not exist who can overtake me when God is on my side. Does this mean I'll never suffer disappointment or failure? Not at all. But with God on my side, my disappointments and failures aren't the end of my story. They won't drag me down and cause me to give up.
"... who can be against us?"
Powerful words that remind me God is always on my side. He wants me to gain that ultimate prize, eternal life in heaven.
"... who can be against us?"
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
- What struggles are you facing right now? Pray specifically for God to grant you wisdom and strength to handle them.
