Daily Devotional: January 5 – In Your Corner

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around – Psalm 3:6

If God is for us, then who can be against us? The bible tells a story of prophet Elisha’s servant who was afraid when he saw that the Syrian army had surrounded Elisha and him. He was surprised that Elisha remained calm until Elisha prayed for God to open his eyes to the fact that there was an army of angels surrounding the army of the enemy (2 Kings 6). The story of Elisha’s servant reveals that how and what we see dictates our mood and behavior. If we only see with physical eyes, then we are troubled and we run and hide. Yet if we see with spiritual eyes, then we are calmer and we stand our ground. When trouble comes, your question shouldn’t be who is against me, but who is for me. If the God of heaven is for you, then there is no need to be afraid regardless of the size of the trouble that comes against you. What is going on around you doesn’t matter, what matters is who is in your corner. What trouble is too difficult for God? What issue is He unable to solve? With God in your corner, today’s troubles are simply opportunities to testify of the goodness of God tomorrow.

It does not matter who is against me so long as God is for me
