When you think "Nationwide" you think of the four little words that followed and became synonymous with its name; "is on your side." The two thoughts almost seem inseparable. Even if you can't carry a tune in a bucket you can sing that simple little jingle to a "tee".
"Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who later became a leader among the Thirty, and he said, "We are yours, David! We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace and prosperity be with you, and success to all who help you, for your God is the one who helps you. So David let them join him, and he made them officers over his troops." (1 Chronicles 12: 18, NLT)
David was way in over his head and he needed all the help he could get. Can we only imagine when David saw what could have potentially been his enemies coming to his aid, telling him they were there to help him via God? Even blessing him in advance and affirming they were on his side? David, out in the wilderness, surrounded by overwhelming odds, suddenly see's the hand of God coming to his side. Perhaps today you're out in the wilderness wondering "Where's God?" Don't worry….you're not alone…..God is just waiting for you to trust Him and allow Him to join you in your time of need. Had David attempted to fight his battles with his own might he would have lost. But David chose to follow God and to trust God in every situation. And God chose to take those who could have opposed David and turn them into his army.
Thought to live by: "Your God is the One who helps you" and He's on your side.
