Romans 8:31-35 - 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Once again i'm going to break them down into verse by verse each day and give further explanations on them. So starting from today, we'll be looking at;
Verse 31 - What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Following on with our usual daily devotions, i asked my kids to explain what they thought this scripture meant and i'll like to share their responses with you ......
.......Nobody can be like God.
.......If God is our Shield and He is with us, we WILL NOT be defeated.
.......God is with us, Jesus is with us and The Holy Spirit is in us so no evil powers, principalities or anything can ever come against us.
They couldn't have explained it any better than this. God's promises are extensive and many of them includes the promise of NEVER leaving you, not forsaking you. He is with you till the end of time. God's assurance of His presence tilts the scales in your favour in whichever direction you look at it.
There's the story of a man who was walking with God. He was in constant fellowship and worship with God. He knew this because he realized that wherever he walked, there were two sets of footsteps. There came a time of hardship and struggles but all he could see was one pair of footsteps. He never gave up though but continued fervently in his fellowship with the Lord. Finally he was victorious and overcame all the obstacles. He then noticed again the two sets of footsteps. Baffled and confused, he asked God where He was when he was going through the storm. The Lord replied, "the footsteps you saw during the times of hardship were that of MINE"........"I know you have no strength and you SOLELY depended on me so i carried you on MY SHOULDERS through the storm."
Oh what a joy it is to know that through it all, God's always going to carry you on His Mighty Shoulders. So whatever you're facing today, keep reminding yourself........GOD IS FOR ME. Be blessed as you remain in HIM.
