Beloved: grace, mercy and peace be yours from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer. It is with delight that I welcome you to the transition week between the months of June and July 2026. My prayer is that nothing in this life will succeed in luring you away from your devotion to God and expose you to His judgment, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
As we begin this new week, I want to admonish you with the words of the Scripture that say:
“Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me…” (Ex 32:26)
Now God is still asking this same question today: “Who is on the Lord’s side?” In a world filled with sin, compromise and distractions, every believer must make a choice of whose side they will be, the Lord’s side or the side of the world.
What, then, does being on the Lord’s side mean? First, it means choosing obedience over disobedience. John 14:15 says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Second, it means standing for righteousness. Romans 12:2 says, “Be not conformed to this world…”
Third, being on the Lord’s side means following Christ wholeheartedly. Luke 9:23 says, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Fourth, being on the Lord’s side means serving God faithfully. Joshua 24:15 says, “…As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
God is looking for men and women who will stand for Him, regardless of the cost. The Lord’s side is not always the popular side, but it is always the victorious side. And today, God is asking each of us, “Are you on my side?” Let our answer be as Joshua’s: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
My prayer is that God, our Father, will daily help you to stand firmly on His side. I also pray that He will give you the courage to obey Him, serve Him and follow Him faithfully all the days of your life. Amen.
Have a splendid week.
