Nathan:

The Lord is on my side;

I will not fear.

What can man do to me?

Author unknown. Psalm 118:6. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 19 of 30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. Talk about confidence. Nothing could build confidence more, than the certainty of God being on our side. But is he? A whole lot of us would like to think so—but not so fast. Yes, in a general sense, God is always on our side—always FOR our good, never FOR our harm. And that’s always true, for everyone of us. **BUT** in a specific sense, he may not be on our side. My cause, may not be *his* cause. My proclamation of allegiance to him, is not equal to his endorsement of me and my cause. So, confidence that God is ON my side, begins with the humility to ask: is he taking a side here? Am I on *that* side? He, may, in fact hate my cause—and be fighting against it. So, where’s God? Are you on that side?
