Precious saints and friends we must be in tune with God, so that he can surge us with spiritual power. I just relearned something today. We cannot look to worldly friends to help us in spiritual matters. In addition, just because someone goes to church every Sunday does not mean they have any insight or discerning power.

Everyone will not be on your side all the time. Therefore, you must get on the side of God. It reminds me of Joshua 5:13-15. Joshua looks into the distance and sees a man with a sword drawn. He walks up to him and asks him if he is on their (Israel’s) side or their enemy’s side. To Joshua’s great surprise, the man replied, “Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come.” He was on neither side, he was on the side of the LORD.

Don’t take sides in world’s affairs to an extreme. Be on the side of God and his Word. Let the teachings of Christ be your anchor and compass.

I now see those old bumper stickers are wrong. You remember, the ones that side, “God is my co-pilot.” The devil is a liar. God is not my co-pilot, he is THE pilot. God is my rock. God is my salvation. God is my keeper. God is my leader. God is my elevator into higher callings. God is my life. Let God have his way. I am not on your side. In fact, I am not on my own side. I am on the side the LORD God Almighty. Amen. Amen. Amen.
