Just sitting here this morning with my cup of coffee reading Romans chapter eight thanking God for his love and protection. It is a great word for me to remind me how God has my best interests at heart. We sometimes forget that in the midst of trials. Look at what Paul says,
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I love the parts 'if God is for us and Nothing can separate us! Never forget that. Your God is on your side working on your behalf. This new year will have many challenges an UPS and downs. But never give up, he loves you. Keep reminding your self if God is for me who can be against me. It will change your heart and your attitude.
Keep me in prayer today as I go in for a routine colonoscopy. Not fun but necessary. Thanks for being a part of our amazing team.
You are loved!
