On Our Side

if God is for us, who can be against us ? - Romans 8:31

A young Christian was working at his first job, the night shift at a refrigerator assembly plant, try to earn money for Bible college. The people he worked with were pretty rough, and he was laughed at for being Christian. The harrasment occured at every break and gradually became more and more vulgar.

One night was worse than the others. They were laughing at him, swearing, and mocking Jesus. He was about ready to quit. Then an older man sitting at the back of the room l said, "That is enough! Find some one else to pick on." They immediately backed off. Later the older fellow said to the young man, " I saw that you were having a difficult time, and I wanted to let you know I'm on your side."

Maybe your a Christian and are standing alone against other who do not know God. It seems as if Satan is winnning.

The Lord may send a fellow believer to stand with you. But if He doesnt, you can be confident that He is on your side. He demonstrated the by sending His Son Jesus to die in your place on the cross. You can never be seperated from His love and care (Romans 8:38-39).

With assurance you can now say, " If God is for us, who can be against us?"

I stand alone, dear Lord-stay by my side,
In all my daily needs please be my guide;
O grant to me Your grace, for this I pray,
To carry on my work from day to day.
