We are continuing our series of reflections on the Psalms. Each day we will upload a new reflection to the website. We hope and pray that you will find them helpful and that they bring hope during this season. Click on these buttons to read the text of the psalm or listen to a recording of it. You can also listen to the reflection using the audio player below. Read Psalm 124 Listen to Psalm 124 When I was growing up my mother would try and stop arguments from developing by saying the words, “No if’s or but’s.” Sometimes we can be tempted to look back at situations with complaints or regrets, “If only...” Today’s psalm turns things around by being thankful and focuses on what would have happened if the Lord had not been on their side. We can forget, or choose not to see, that it is the Lord who is on our side, who is for us, and is always with us. Our help may come by different routes but ultimately it comes from the Lord, who is big enough to be creator of the heavens and the earth and small enough to enter our world as a baby - so that we can know that God is on our side. Father, thank you that you are on my side, today and always.
