Ps. 146 [The Message]
In my neighborhood growing up, we chose up sides when we played football, baseball,or basketball at the park. The best players were chosen first, and the undesirables went last. Gym class dodge ball was another venue where this happened. If your were a captain, you needed to get some good, early picks to have a chance to win.
Guess what!? God is ALWAYS on your side. When you enter battle, You have the Winner with you. As long as you put Him first in your life, He will put you first. You can have a tremendous confidence from day to day, regardless of what confronts you.
When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. [Pr. 16:7]
