GOD is for me.” He was “for us” or he would y not have given his well beloved Son. And because he is “for us,” the voice of prayer will always insure his help. ‘’When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies he 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, “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?
