Whose Side Are You On?

Sides. Children learn the concept of “sides” at a young age. They’re on one side or the other of a field depending on whose team they are on.  

As children grow older they learn about historical battles and those who fought on each side. 

Hopefully, as children become teens and then adults they become more aware of another set of sides: God’s and the devil’s.  Yes, the Bible explains that there are spiritual sides that battle over our souls. 

The war between God and the devil was decided long ago with God decidedly the victor. Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave sealed the outcome of the war over man’s soul.

Isaiah 49:2 describes Jesus’ role in the battle over man’s soul calling Him a Select Arrow. “He has also made Me a select arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver.” 

Yes, Jesus was sent from God’s heavenly quiver to destroy the works of the devil and save our soul. Aren’t you thankful for Christ, the Select Arrow of God and for being on God the Father’s side? 

Lord Jesus, God’s SELECT ARROW, thank You for coming to earth to destroy the works of the devil. Thank You for winning the battle over my soul.  I love and praise You!
