Don't forget that God is on your side. (1 Samuel 13:6-7)

1 Samuel 13:6-7

The Message (MSG)

^6-7 When the Israelites saw that they were way outnumbered and in deep trouble, they ran for cover, hiding in caves and pits, ravines and brambles and cisterns—wherever. They retreated across the Jordan River, refugees fleeing to the country of Gad and Gilead. But Saul held his ground in Gilgal, his soldiers still with him but scared to death.

When we forget who is on our side or see only our own resources, we tend to panic at the sight of the opposition. The Israelites became terrified and hid when they saw the mighty Philistine army. They forgot that God was on their side and that He couldn't be defeated. As you face problems and temptations, focus your attention on God and His resources, trusting Him to help you.
