"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side..." what would we have to say? "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth even for ever." (Ps. 124:1,8, Ps 123:2)
"Never is the tempest-tried soul more dearly loved by his Saviour than when he is suffering reproach for the truth’s sake. “I will love him,” Christ said, “and will manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21. When for the truth’s sake the believer stands at the bar of earthly tribunals, Christ stands by his side. When he is confined within prison walls, Christ manifests Himself to him and cheers his heart with His love. When he suffers death for Christ’s sake, the Savior says to him, They may kill the body, but they cannot hurt the soul." (Acts of the Apostles, p. 85)
Thankfully the Lord is on our side, and if HE is for us, who can be against us?!
