Psalm 124 is a reflection on the Lord's goodness in delivering and guarding His people. Israel was about to be swallowed alive by furious pagan leaders when the Lord intervened to save His elect. "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side..." the appreciative psalmist exclaimed twice (vv. 1-2).
We who follow Jesus can make the same claim when we reflect on the past.
I have occasionally had to resist powerful temptations.
I wouldn't have been able to refuse if it weren't for the Lord.
And a few years ago, I struggled with a protracted time of hopelessness, remorse, unpleasant memories, and emptiness. I would not have survived that treacherous valley if it weren't for God's assistance.
If the Lord had not intervened,. I've repeated it numerous times. I have no doubt that you have. Remembering the Lord's mercy in the past will encourage us to exclaim with the psalmist, "Our help is in the name of the Lord" (v.8) when we face fresh trials, difficulties, doubts, or temptations.
Whatever we encounter, God provides ample grace. Even when difficulties arise and perils terrify, even when allies falter and enemies band together,
However, one thing keeps us safe no matter what:
According to the Bible, "The Lord will provide."
