When,
Lord, we turn aside from Your Word, we start to think that we’re quite
all right – without You. This is what we think – and we’re wrong! We
need to be reminded of what we really are: sinners who need to be saved –
saved by You, saved for You. Lift us, Lord, out of what we are in
ourselves – and into what You are making us by Your saving grace.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
