Psalm 124

I wrote this poem several years ago, and it seems like a good message for today.

Reflection on Psalm 124 (Altered Outcome)

Without God on my side,
I'd have nowhere to hide.
Angry men marching hard, drawing near,
Would have swallowed me up with a cheer.

Without God on my side,
All my hope would have died.
Raging streams swirling fast, mounting tall,
Would have covered my head, ending all.

Without God on my side,
I in vain would have cried.
Cunning nets lying 'round, circling tight,
Would have snared me and finished the fight.

But with God on my side -
My Creator and Guide -
Loving help rushes in, standing strong,
And delivers my soul from all wrong.

"Had it not been the LORD who was on our side..." (v. 1&2) - absolute disaster and ruin would have happened.

But ... "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth" (v. 8). Nothing is too hard for Him. He can do what no one else can, and He can save when no one else is capable.
