“Be not afraid, I go before you always, come, follow me, and I will give you rest.”
Because you trust in the Lord, “You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wander far in safety, though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand, you shall see the face of God and live.”
Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand. Psalm 73:23
For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul. Psalm 109:31
I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the Lord was my support. Psalm 18:8
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, whom shall I dread? Psalm 27:1
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
The Lord is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 118:6
So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us. 1 Kings 8:57.
Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” My enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
“For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” What an awesome God we serve!
May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4
And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 John 5:14
For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call on Him? Deuteronomy 4:7
The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. Psalm 145
“Chosen to be soldiers, in an alien land, chosen, called, and faithful, for our Captain’s band, in the service royal, let us not grow cold; let us be right loyal, noble, true and bold. Master, Thou will keep us, by Thy grace divine, always on the Lord’s side, Savior, always Thine!” Thank you, Lord!
I don’t know about you, but I am on the Lord’s side today and always. We are all aliens in foreign lands, but Citizens of Heaven, and we need to hold on to that, because no matter our nationality, God has chosen us to be soldiers, we were chosen, called, and faithful, for our Captain’s band. We are earthly citizens where our rights and protections are daily threatened, but under God, our rights and protections are secure. We may be earthly citizens, but those who are called and chosen by God are not conformed to the ways of the world we live in but are instead transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are not easily swayed; we stand firm on the promises of God. He will keep us by his Grace, if we stay on his side. I am on the Lord’s side, how about you?
