Psa 124:1-4 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say– “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
The psalmist looked back and saw the protection that he had been given when his life was threatened. He thought that his end was near because of how powerful his enemies seemed to be. He now credits all the protection and victory to God.
This is the same song that we ought to sing as we come to an end of the year 2020. The year had its ups and downs. The winds and storms of life seemed to overpower us. When we look back, it is a testimony that the Lord was on our side. Jesus Christ was with us in the boat while the storm raged.
As we enter the new year, let’s remember that when the Lord is on our side, the waters will neither overwhelm us nor streams go over our souls.
