TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
What if God was not on your side. What would your life be like? What would the world be like? This is the hypothetical scenario constructed by David in our scripture reading for today, Psalm 124. As you read, consider all the blessings and meaning in life that would be absent, were not the Lord on your side!
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
