The LORD is On Our Side! (Psalm 124)

Psalm 124: Passage Summary

Eternal Truth: The LORD is on our side. He is the creator of heaven and earth.He protects us and sustains us. Without Him we would be devoured and destroyed. He has enabled us to escape from those who would entrap and exterminate us.

Internal Truth: Our hope is in the LORD.

External Truth: We cannot trust in others to sustain us. We cannot trust in ourselves to sustain us. We can generously love those around us, because we are trusting in God to provide us with all we need.
