God is on my side
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." -Numbers 6:24-26
I've been thinking about the passage above lately. Not only is it a beautiful scripture but one thought that really sticks out to me from this is just how much more god is on our side than we even realize! That phrase "the Lord make his face to shine upon you" Is huge! In Exodus 33:20 God Said... “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” But here God is talking about letting the glory of his face shine upon those who are truly his people. It puts more perspective on what it means to be washed by the blood of Christ and when the veil in the temple that once separated the people from the most holy place being violently torn in two We now have 100 percent full access to our father in Heaven!
I've had some bad days where it felt like God isn't really all that focused on me at the moment and satan would love nothing more than for me to believe that. That's when its good to stop and think to myself, "Wait a minute! God is on my side!" And he really is! Job 35:6 helps also to put this in perspective of Gods power...
"If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?"
Just think about that. My sinful nature does not nullify Gods ability to save, it never will. All my sins all piled together in all their strength as if they were a great army can not and never will overpower God.
If you've given your heart and soul to Jesus he is closer to you than you may think!
