As I was speaking to someone and teaming up with them, who had always seen me as their enemy, I confidently asked them, 'Who is on our side?' She quietly, but reluctantly, said, "God." The battle we are facing has already been won because we have patiently waited for God to work out the challenging issues. Whatever happens is purely God's will, but we are here to be His hands and feet in the flesh, doing His bidding because we've left ourselves open to take the necessary steps that He has called us to take. How do you get to the point where you place your confidence in God alone? By staying repentant, worshiping Him, praising his holiness, and being obedient to His call. In Psalms 25, David reached out to God and confidently prayed:
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Psalms 25:1-2
He continued his prayer with repentance, sincerely praying for guidance and instruction on how to proceed. He sought God, knowing that He would keep him secure and pluck him out of his enemies' hands, those who hate him passionately. We can be assured that God will also keep us out of the hands of our enemies and work out every detail to His advantage, and in the process give us the upper hand.
