The Lord Is On Your Side

"Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:" 2 Chronicles 32:7

Many sports require a team to play together. In these team sports it is necessary for all the players to work together to achieve victory. There are some teams who have one superstar, and they will try to take over a game and get the win for their team, but in many cases one player cannot get the victory by themselves, it takes a team to secure the victory. There are going to be challenges that we are going to have to face, that we cannot face alone, and we must realize that we have to use all of those that are with us to achieve the victory over the hurdles in our lives. The Scripture reminds us to be strong and courageous, and not be afraid nor dismayed because of our enemies, nor of all the multitude that is with him: for there is more with us than with them. I encourage you today to remember who is on your side. You have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with you always, and since they are with you, there is not anything you cannot achieve. Do not be dismayed because of all the hurdles that may be in front of you. Do not be swayed by the challenges that you are facing, because you have The Lord on your side, and since The Lord is on your side you will be able to make it through all that you are facing in your life. Be strong and very courageous knowing that you are never alone and, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are with you every step of the way, and when they are on your side there is no need to worry because you know victory is yours. When trials and tribulations come my way, I have learned to be strong and very courageous remembering who is with me, and since I know who is with me I know I will have the victory over all that I face. No matter what I face I will be strong and courageous this is why I am so certain, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for always being on my side. I know that no matter what I face, no matter how many challenges are in front of me, no matter how many hurdles I may have to cross, I know that you are with me. No matter how many things or people come against me I know that since you are with me, there is more with me than against me and victory will be mine. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
