It is Thursday morning, the 8th of October, 2026, and this is your friend Angus Buchan with a thought for the day.
Angus BuchanHOST
We start off in the Book of Psalms, Psalm 91:3, "Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler." And then we go on to Psalm 124:7, "Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers." And then the last scripture, John 10:10, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." Jesus says, "But I have come that they might have life and they may have it more abundantly." The fowler is a hunter.

Psalm 124: If the Lord had not been on our side, let Israel say, if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us, then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.

Yep, but today we're going to read from Psalm 124.
YvonneHOST
This is much like Romans 8 verse 31, which says, if God is for us, who is against us? And then verse 32, that great gospel message, he who did not spare his own son, but delivered him over for us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things? So that if God is for us and if Christ has died for us, isn't he gonna give us everything that we need? And so likewise here in Psalm 124, if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when people rose against us, they would have swallowed us alive.
YvonneHOST
