“When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” — Psalm 56:9
It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, “God is for me.” He was “for us” before the worlds were made; He was “for us,” or He would not have given His well-beloved son; He was “for us” when He smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of His wrath upon Him — He was “for us,” though He was against Him; He was “for us,” when we were ruined in the fall — He loved us notwithstanding all; He was “for us,” when we were rebels against Him, and with a high hand were bidding Him defiance; He was “for us,” or He would not have brought us humbly to seek His face. He has been “for us” in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by…
temptations from without and within — how
could we have remained unharmed to this hour if He had not been “for
us”? He is “for us,” with all the infinity of His being; with all the
omnipotence of His love; with all the infallibility of His wisdom; arrayed
in all His divine attributes, He is “for us,” — eternally and immutably “for
us”; “for us” when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out
vesture; “for us” throughout eternity. And because He is “for us,” the
voice of prayer will always ensure His help. “When I cry unto Thee, then
shall mine enemies be turned back.” This is no uncertain hope, but a well
grounded assurance — “this I know.” I will direct my prayer unto Thee,
and will look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine
enemies shall be defeated, “for God is for me.” O believer, how happy art
thou with the King of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector!
How sure thy cause pleaded by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who
can be against thee?
