Psalms 124:1-3
[1] (A Song of degrees of David.) If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
[2] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
[3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
It's a beautiful and a wonderful day. I am alive today again feeling this great because the Lord, woke me up. Thank You Father Lord in Jesus name. Amen.
The Psalmist is reminding you and I by the Scriptural reference above that the only reason he was still alive was because the Lord was on his side. But for the Lord who had been on our side dearly beloved, you and I would have been history.
The Psalmist's statement is from someone who has made God his Pillar of rest and backbone.
Beloved, did you know that but for God, that water you drank would have gone the wrong way, as that simple act had led to the death of many.
That Road you went out and came in from saw many involved in accident and some even died.
The issue is that we take a lot of things for granted.
Did you know that many went into the bathroom to have their birth and were brought out dead? You go in and out of the bathroom as you like and nothing happened and you think it's a small thing.
I know a few persons who woke up from sleep to go and ease themselves but slumped and died. You do that everyday and you are still alive.
I know a lady long ago who had eaten and was lying down on her bed and discussing with her husband. At a point she was no more responding. The husband jokingly said, what kind of sleep is this and began to call her name. When she wasn't responding, he went to tap her but lo and behold she was gone.
Beloved, that minor headache, that stomach pain, fever, etc you complained of but treated and recovered, had seen many people gone to their graves.
How many of us do stop to ponder about these and appreciate God. if it had not been for the Lord on our side, what would have been our case?
We dishonour God by taking a lot of these things for granted.
We major in complaining about what God has not done or done well, forgetting and neglecting all He had done and is still doing for us.
The other day there was this news of a vehicle that failed break at night, ran into a building and killed families sleeping on their beds in their own house. They didn't travel too.
I know a woman who visited her daughter and at night while they were sleeping, the ceiling fan that had been there for ages fell and hit this woman on her head and she died there. We have been using ceiling fans and all has been well with us and families.
In what way are you and I better than the victims and casualties, we have mentioned above?
No way at all.
It is because the Lord is on our side that's all.
He has said that no plague comes near our dwelling.
Psalms 91vs10.
Yes, He watches over His word to perform it.
He has said that a thousand shall fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand but none shall come near us.
Psalms 91vs7.
He had faithfully kept His promise as He is not a man that He should lie.
Numbers 23vs19.
The least that any wise person can do to continue to enjoy these uncommon benefits from God, is to seek intimacy with this great God who has sworn not to break His covenant with us nor alter the thing that has gone out of His lips concerning us.
Psalms 89vs34
Again let us seek to please Him as He created us for His pleasure.
Revelation 4vs11.
We please Him in humility, obedience to His word, reading and studying His word, living holy and righteous, then being committed and dedicated to Him. Let us also make prayers praise, worship and thanksgiving to Him a way of life.
It is only a surrendered life that can be empowered to live for God. You surrender to Him when you acknowledge your sins, repent of them, confess and forsake them, so that you can be washed in the Blood of Jesus and be enlisted in the Army of God with your name written in the Book of Life.
Do so now if you haven't done so yet. Be born again.
God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

[1] (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
PRAYERS
Father Lord, please in Your mercy, continue to watch over me and mine as the Apple of Your eyes in Jesus name. Amen.
