Siding with the Good is to be on God's Side
Great Thoughts
Amos 5:14
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.


If a man wants to be on the winning side, let him be on the right side. There is no other safe rule to conform to. If a man is on the right side he will be on the winning side, even ii it seems the losing side. The right side is God's side, and God's side is sure of a triumph in the end, however it may look to the world just now. It may be said reverently, that God's trains have the right of way on the roads of universe, and that he who wants to reach his destination surely, and in time, will do well to take his passage on one of those trains. Any other train is liable to a disastrous collision; at the best it is sure to go astray. He who is not going with God is not going God's way; and no other way is a safe one to travel.
