In honor of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday<\/a> (today!), I wanted to share this Lincoln quote about choosing sides. Lincoln observed, “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God\u2019s side, for God is always right.”<\/p>\n

\nIsn’t that a great perspective? Some people spend way too much time trying to somehow prove that God is on their side. But what we really should be doing is figuring out where, exactly, God stands on a matter, and getting on board with His agenda. Because, in the end, that is all that really matters.<\/p>\n

And how do we discern where God stands? By reading His word, praying for wisdom and discernment, aligning ourselves with His principles, and allowing Him to conform us to the image of Christ.<\/p>\n
