Psalm 56:9<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, ‘God is for me<\/em>.’ 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<\/em>,’ though He was against Him<\/em>; 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.<\/p>\n

‘When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies be turned back<\/em>.’ This is no uncertain hope, but a well grounded assurance-‘this I know<\/em>.’ 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?<\/p>\n
