The song "God Is Not Against Me" by Elevation Worship is a powerful anthem of faith and trust in God's unwavering support and love for us. It echoes the sentiments found in Romans 8:31, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" This verse, like the song, reminds us that God is always on our side, fighting our battles, and working through us.
The lyrics of the song beautifully illustrate the transformative power of God's love and support. When we feel weak, He calls us strong and courageous. When we feel like we can't make it, He assures us that we will. This mirrors the sentiment in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, where Paul speaks of God's grace being sufficient for us, and His power being made perfect in our weakness.
The song also speaks of a new revelation, a Savior who calls us His friend. This is reminiscent of John 15:15, where Jesus says, "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." This verse, like the song, speaks of the intimate relationship we have with God, where He is not just our Lord, but also our friend.
The song's chorus and bridge repeatedly affirm that God is not against us, but rather, He is in it with us, working through us, fighting for us. This is a powerful reminder of the promise in Deuteronomy 20:4, "For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
As we listen to this song and reflect on these scriptures, we are reminded of God's unwavering support and love for us. We are reminded that He is not against us, but rather, He is for us, fighting our battles, working through us, and calling us His friends.
So, as we go about our daily lives, let's carry this truth with us. Let's remember that God is not against us, but rather, He is for us. And with this knowledge, let's ask ourselves: How does knowing that God is for us, not against us, change the way we approach our daily struggles and challenges? How does it change the way we view ourselves and our capabilities? And how does it change the way we interact with others and the world around us?
