Who Is On The LORD’s Side?

Ken

We all want God to be on our side, but shouldn’t the more important question be, “Who is on the LORD’S side?” (Exodus 32:26 KJV). We all value living in peace, then shouldn’t we promote peace where we live? “Seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.” (Jeremiah 29:7 KJV). If the godly desire peace in the Middle East, how should we pray? “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee” (Psalm 122:6 KJV). Why would God ask us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, if He would send the Babylonians and later the Romans to destroy it? God has chosen to bless whom He sovereignly chooses to bless, and our place is to agree with God. When no human solution brings peace, then God alone must bring it. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem because the Almighty will move heaven and earth to bring it to pass.
