” If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” Romans 8:31
” And I am convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither fears for today nor worries about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.” Romans 8:38
Romans 8:31 pretty much sums it up. If we have the creator of the whole universe, the creator of all things on our side then who or what can come against us? We are fortified in the protection program of our God in heaven. Our God in heaven put on display his mighty love for each of us, by taking his only son and sending him to this world to be persecuted and sacrificed in ways that we sometimes take for granted. We forget that Jesus was God but that he was also a human being. We forget that he had feelings, emotions and hurts and earthly desires. We forget that he was not superhuman but instead he had to become like us. We forget that as he walked this earth, he had to make decisions, and those decisions had to be the right decisions. He was able to get through struggles that you and I will fail at because of his trust and dedication to his Father in heaven. He was able to display strength that you and I are unable to muster up. What Jesus was able to understand, is that nothing that the devil can do will separate us from our Father in heaven. He understood the strength of his Father, his dedication to those he loves and how he fulfills every promise he makes. He understood that when his mission was finished then all of mankind would have an opportunity to be saved through his sacrifices. We have the benefit of knowing the past as well as the future plans of our God in heaven. We have the benefit of knowing what Jesus did for us and knowing that because of what he did we have a chance for eternal life with Christ Jesus. There is nothing that can separate us from our Father in heaven. We, however, must be open to listening, learning and being a doer of his mighty world. We must be able to recognize the strength provided to us, the power in the name of Jesus and the wisdom and understanding that is put at our fingertips. Our faith must grow, and our mission must be accomplished. We must love the Lord with all of heart, mind and soul. We must turn our attention on what is from above and not what is from below. Remember, our Lord will never forsake us or abandon us. He is with us in all things! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
