GOD IS FOR ME!

Psalm 56:9 “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.”

God is for me. Let this great truth sink in. Meditate deeply on this thought. Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God is for you – He is on your side. Beloved, let this thought rule over you today – if you stand with God, God stands with you.

The God who is higher than the highest mountain - because he formed that mountain – is for you. The God who is deeper than the lowest valley – because He scooped out that valley – is for you. The God who is greater than the devil – because He crushed the serpent’s head on Golgotha’s hill – is for you. The God who is mightier than death – because He left it dead in the tomb – is for you. The God who is greater than all our enemies – because He has conquered them one and all – is for you.

GOD is for you. God IS for you. God is FOR you. God is for YOU. Regardless of where the emphasis is placed, this truth is almost overwhelming.

God – Jehovah, Elohim, Adonai, God of the Bible, Creator, Redeemer, The Judge of all the earth;

is – right now, present tense – in the lowest valley, on the highest mountain, facing the greatest struggle, experiencing the greatest joy, in the midst of your worst nightmare, or living you greatest dream – God IS for you!

for – in favor of, in support of, with, on the same team as - He is not against you, trying to destroy you, opposed to you; 2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

you – redeemed, blood-bought, born-again, saved from sin, insignificant, undeserving, usually-in-a-mess you; even unsaved, ungodly, wicked, disrespectful, sinful, nasty, could-care-less-about-God you; Jesus is even for YOU; He hates what you are doing and wants to save you from your sins; He came to you when you couldn’t come to Him; He died for you when you were dead in your sins; He helped you when you were helpless; He gave you hope when you were hopeless; Yes Jesus is even for you, so much so that if you will come to Him he will not cast you away, beat you down, or condemn you. He will forgive you of your sins and save you.

When life is against you, God is for you. When death is against you, God is for you. When your boss is against you, God is for you. When your health is against you, God is for you. When your family is against you, God is for you. When your finances are against you, God is for you. When your enemies are against you, God is for you. When sin is against you, God is for you. When the devil, every demon, every principality, every power, every ruler of darkness, every minion, every evil spirit – when the gates of hell are against you, God is for you. When your past is against you, God is for you. When you future is against you, God is for you. When your present is against you, God is for you!

Conclusion:
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
