We should be able to thank God that He is on our side. This is not just an emotion, or a circumstantial proof, it is a Biblical Promise and Reality. The Bible asks us that, if God is for us, who can be against us? We do not always look at the circumstances, or the evidence, we need to Trust the Word of God.
