"Had It Not Been the Lord..."

As we continue our “Psalms of Ascents” series, we come to Psalm 124, which begins, “Had it not been the Lord who…” – words that invite us to consider what our lives might have been had God not been with us, protecting, preserving, and sustaining us. 

But for God to have been with us – “on our side,” as this psalm also asserts – is not something we can presume upon or arrogantly hold in an us/them posture. It instead leads us to a place of humility toward God and others – even our enemies – and of deep gratitude and dependence on God to do now and in the future what he has already done for us in the past. Come out this Sunday and bring a friend as we consider together what life might look like with God – and without God – on our side.
