DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- THE WINNING SIDE

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – THE WINNING SIDE

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

God is rooting for us. I watched the Phoenix Suns the other night playing the Milwaukee Bucks in the race for the NBA championship. There were thousands of people rooting for the Suns and there were thousands rooting for the Bucks.

We have the God of heaven and all the hosts of heaven rooting for us. He is on our side. He wants us to succeed. Jesus died on the cross for our salvation and rose again for our justification. He sent the Holy Spirit to be our helper. And even now He is at the right hand of God making intercession for us (vs. 34). Nothing can separate us from His love.

We have an adversary.  Satan is not on our side. He will do everything he can to defeat us. His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. But we have the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The story is that Abraham Lincoln was asked during the Civil War whether God was on the side of the Union or the Confederacy. As the story goes, Lincoln responded, "The question is not whether God is on our side, but whether we are on God's side."

God is on our side. I want to be on His side because that is the winning side.

Love, Dad
