A Matter of Opinion

(Psa 124:2 KJV)  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

(Proverbs 7 also read)

This brings to mind a quote that I heard attributed to Abraham Lincoln.  He is reported to have said something to the effect that “It isn’t so much that God is on our side as whether we are on His side.”  There is a real difference even though the results should be the same.

We need to careful about putting our priorities in God’s mouth.  I was reading recently about how in the Civil war, as in many wars, both sides were praying to the same God and claiming His protection and victory.  It can’t work that way.

So?  The only way to avoid this is to be aware of our pride and how it often dictates our thinking process.  Know the truth if you want it to set you free.
