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!
