Is God On Your Side?

New Life Christian Church

Does God choose sides? If I pray about it, will He cause my favorite football team to win? In Joshua 5:13-15 as the Israelites prepare to fight their enemies to take over their new land, Joshua is surprised by a man who appears in front of him. Joshua asked whose side he was on. "Neither", said the man, "I'm a commander of the Lord." He then gives them an unconventional strategy to follow in order to be successful.

Sometimes God may have us do the unexpected. It may not make sense but when we encounter those times, we need to ask how do I need to follow him? Maybe we need to sacrifice something. Or maybe there is someone to talk to about my faith. Or something else entirely. We need to be asking, am I on the Lord's side? And how do I need to follow Him today?
