IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD!

12-31-2010. .  . .IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD!

"If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say-- if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away." (Ps 124:1-5 NIV)  As we go through the final hours of 2010, reflecting over the events of this past year, this text has to be our testimony.  As we think about where we are standing today, think of how it could have been, but it didn't turn out that way.   And, again we must say, "If it had not been for the Lord who was on our side."

Prayer: Lord, You've done it again.  You have brought us through and to another year.  Thank you!  Thank you, Thank You!  We bless your name!

Ps 124:6-8. . . . Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD,  the Maker of heaven and earth.  NIV
