The One Who Is For Me

October 16, 2026 

"This I know, that God is for me." Psalm 56:9

You can live your whole life feeling like God is against you. But that's a lie.

God is for you. 

There may be nothing more important for you to understand about God than this: he is for you.

The reality of God being for us was so important to the Psalmist that he preceded the declaration with the three words, This I know. The fact that God was for him, was not a theory; it was a certainty.

Can you say with certainty, This I know, that God is for me?

Don't continue to believe a lie. God truly is for you. And he proved it in Jesus.

Loving Father, I repent of believing a lie--that you are against me. Forgive me for my bitterness and resentment toward you for those things that have gone against me. Today I repent and I now know that you truly are for me in Jesus' name.

YEAR ON FIRE
