Romans 8
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[o]) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
There is not much that anyone could add to Paul's words written to the Romans, but I will try to encourage you with this reminder; "No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us." Despite your feelings of insecurity, despite destitution and danger, and even despite death, we have victory through Christ.
Today you could be facing the toughest battles of your life and the enemy would have you believe that trials in this life come from God or speak to his absence. Allow the Holy Spirit through the powerful word of God to encourage you today; he loves you; and there is nothing that can change that.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[p] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
*God is for you today, if you are anything like me you probably need the occasional reminder. If you feel like the obstacles in the path are larger than you can handle on your own then you are correct. You were never meant to face them alone. God is for us, who can ever be against us?
Seek him, spend time with him, experience the vast nature of our God; when you see the greatness of our God it is much tougher to see the greatness of your trials.
