GOD IS ON OUR SIDE

                By A. W. Tozer

                 Let them be confounded and consumed that are
                 adversaries to my soul.          Psalm 71:13

                  It was a gracious revelation to my human spirit when I
              discovered that the Word of God was actually on my side,
              operating in my behalf!

                  I was  reading  Psalm 71  and  I  came  to this amazing
              statement: "Thou hast given commandment to save me!"
              My  heart  has  been  warmed  with  that realization ever
              since.  I believe that the Word of the living God has gone
              throughout all the earth to save me and keep me!  Let the
              theological experts raise their eyebrows - I do not care!

                 The living Word has charged Himself with responsibility
              to forgive, to cleanse and to keep me!

                  Let  us not  be  guilty  of underrating the Word of God
              operating on our behalf.  I dare to say that there is not an
              uncontrolled  stroke  or  force  anywhere  in  all of God's
              mighty  universe  that  can  take  eternal life away from a
              trusting, believing, obedient child of God.

                 Let us thank God for the Word!   It is living and
              powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword!
