       One thing that I have seemed to notice over the years from church-goers is an underlying perception of God that he is not really on their side. There seems to be this pervasive belief that, “God is not for us. And he may be on our side at time, but more often than not he’s not on our side. And that’s because we’re sinful, and our ideas just aren’t God’s ideas. God knows best.” And truly, this is most unfortunate. It’s full of unbelief. It ignores the truth that God’s Spirit dwells within us, and oftentimes will direct our thoughts in God’s direction. It is expecting the worst to happen, not the best. It’s only looking at what is wrong with people, instead of what is right with them. The reality is, is that God is actually for us. We can feel in our hearts that God is not for us, that he really doesn’t care about us. We have to learn to reject feelings and thoughts that come to us like that since the Bible says, “God is for us.”
