God Is on Your Side

By Rick Warren

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the
power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

No matter what you’re going to face this next

week, you’re not going to face it alone. God is
with you, he is in you, and he is for you.
Philippians 2:13 says, “For God is working in
you, giving you the desire and the power to do
what pleases him” (NLT).
“God is working in you.” The word “working” in
Greek is the word energos, from which we get the
word “energy.” God is the energy driver in your
life. You’re not just going on willpower. You’re
not just going on your own power. God says he
will give you the power you need, no matter what
you’re facing.
Not only is he in you, he is with you. The Bible
says, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come
to you. On that day you will realize that I am in my
Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (John
14:18, 20 NIV). That’s quite a promise! The Bible
says Christ is in you; the Bible says you’re hid
with Christ in God; and the Bible says you’re
sealed with the Holy Spirit. That means for the
devil to get to you, he’s got to get through the
Trinity! That’s a pretty good protection. That is a
great fear reliever.
Not only is God with you and in you; God is
also for you. Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us,
no one can defeat us” (NCV).
When a shepherd leads the sheep, there are
always guard dogs at the back, nipping at the
sheep to keep them moving in the right direction.
The Bible says that the guard dogs in your life are
goodness and mercy. God gives you the things
you don’t deserve — that is his goodness. And,
he doesn’t give you the things you do deserve —
that’s his mercy.
Do you ever feel the smile of God in your life? If
you don’t, you don’t really know God. Some
people think God is like the angry parent who’s
mad at them all the time. No. God is for you!
If you want to be happy, you need to get up every
morning and say, “God, thank you that you’re
going to be with me today, you’re going to be in
me today, and you’re going to be for me today.”
Isn’t that great news? If God is with you, and God
is in you, and God is for you, what in the world
are you doing being depressed?

Talk It Over
 How do you think God wants you to access his
power that is available to you?
 When do you doubt God’s presence the most?
Ask God for faith to see him at work in your life.
How will your perspective of a difficult situation change
now that
