This We Know – God is On Our Side
We all face unknowns. Some of them are small and insignificant. Others matter a great deal. But don’t be discouraged. God is on our side.

Truths about God are enough to begin and end everyday with a song of joy. He is powerful, filled with lovingkindness, and ready to be our refuge and strength.
Fixing our heart on God leads us to a safe place, a place where peace and clarity reign, a place where we find calm in chaos.
No one I know relishes taking a test but they reveal where we need to learn and grow. Remember God allows tests in our lives, but He always sits with us.
Most of what we know about love is based on what we’ve experienced, and those experiences aren’t always the best teachers.
God’s goodness follows us in ways too many to count. Goodness is God giving us what we don’t deserve. Mercy is God not giving us what we deserve.
A yearly focus word is a great tool to help us grow in our faith journey. One year, my word was “joy.” This year’s word, I believe, is “restore.”
When I feel afraid or under spiritual attack, I imagine myself encircled by an impenetrable shield. It covers and keeps me from dangers on every side.
“Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.” ~ Roy Lessin
We are finite beings so we often view our circumstances on a finite timeline. The clock ticks, and we grow anxious. We begin to doubt whether God hears us.
Work and worry blind us to the miracles around us. We rush through our days silencing the tasks calling for our attention, and we miss the delights before us.
When life’s journey takes a difficult turn, our emotions want to cry, “Unfair!” or “Why me?” But God’s Word directs us to take a different approach.
We can’t begin to understand His purposes for our pain, but we can rest assured that He is doing something good in His eternal plan.
God will never make a promise and then forget to honor it. He’ll never commit to doing something and then procrastinate or fail to follow through.
Storms will come and go. God’s promises help us navigate the wind and waves to a safe harbor. We can trust Him and not be afraid.
Every challenge we face forces us to make a choice. Will we choose to trust our doubting selves? Or choose to trust a God who is faithful, wise, and good?
The marina sling holds the weight of a vessel, but my God holds every ocean, sea, bay, cove, river, and stream in His hand.
Short prayers like—“Help!”—whispered or cried from a heart desperate for God’s provision or intervention can stir Him to answer.
God has purposes yet unseen for our lives, too. Every one of the hardships we experience are part of the pruning and honing necessary to prepare us.
If we take Jesus seriously, then we can rest assured that trusting in God is the better way to respond. Here are five good reasons for choosing that better way.
Soul care matters. If we’re in a healthy place, then we’re better able to help others who are struggling. So be good to yourself.
God will never make a promise and then forget to honor it. He’ll never commit to doing something and then procrastinate. God always keeps His word.
His intent toward us is always good and never meant to harm or destroy. We find rest for our souls when we rest in Jesus.
Every moment of every day we need God’s presence in our lives. And every moment of every day our heavenly Father hears our sighs and cries.
The truth is, Almighty God is on our side. The enemy wants us to believe otherwise, so he whispers lies intended to lead us to believe defeat is imminent.
Crisis changes life in a nanosecond. It can rob us of routine, ruin our ability to sleep well, and remove our capability to think straight.
This year, the word “praise” jumped off the page as I read Psalm 146. The chapter begins, “Praise the LORD. Let all that I am praise the LORD.”
Our role in our relationship with Him is to tune our ear to listen so we can hear it above the din of so many other voices calling for our attention.
I find renewed hope when I cling to the truth that God will never let our pain go to waste. He will always make it beneficial to us when we work with Him.
Spiritual distancing ends the moment we declare it over through our actions and heart attitude. All we have to do is humbly admit our need for God.
Keep your minds focused on the Truth as we ride out the storm. None of this has taken the Lord by surprise. He sees us and He prays for us.
Take a few moments to reflect on this life-changing truth. The same God who crafted the heavens knows your name. He knows where you are this very moment.
Only God is in control, and He knows best how to sort things out for our good and His glory. Let’s leave the pen in His hands.
When the stress of uncertainty gets to you, go back to these five truths. Hide them in your heart, speak them aloud, and ask God to give you deeper insights.
You may feel comfortable when you’re in control of your circumstances. But things can get a little hairy when it feels like life is whirling out of control.
God hears our cries and will lift us from the mud and mire of fear and despair. He will set our feet on the firm foundation of His presence and promises.
