God is on Your Side

Four reminders why God is on your side.

1. God is fighting for you.

2 Chronicles 20: 17 says, "You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Tomorrow, go out to face them, for Yahweh is with you." When you are going through a battle or obstacle through life, just remember that God is fighting for you and that He will never leave your side.

2. No one is against you if God is for you.

Romans 8:31 says, "What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" So, if God is for us, why should we be afraid of what will happen in the result of a battle or with various things in life?

3. Do not be afraid.

Isaiah 41:10 says, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand." It is always tough to not be afraid of something, especially when you know God has a plan, but it is hard not to be afraid because you want to be in control of the outcome of the situation because that is what humans want to do. Do not be afraid because God has a plan.

4. Hold on, do not quit.

Psalm 27:14 says, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait for the Lord." Why quit if God is on your side? God has your back and is for you. Sometimes it takes a long time for God to work in a certain situation.

Sometimes we need encouragement when something is going on and we do not know what to do or even when we think God is not on our side or we feel like nobody is there to help us when we are going through something. If you are going through something that you feel like God is not there for you, go to Him in prayer and pray that He would reveal Himself to you more during that time. I hope this helps, encourages you, or simply a reminder that God is on your side and that you do not need to quit because God has a great plan for you and we just have to wait for His plan to happen.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
