Seeking God | Day 12
Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? (36) As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. (37) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (38) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nothing is stronger than God. Nothing can separate us from Him. Nothing outside of us (circumstances, difficulties, demons, hardships, even death itself) and nothing inside of us (fear, anxiety, doubt). If we are in Christ we are absolutely secure in God’s love. Elisabeth Elliot once said, “God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.” She experienced many difficulties and even lost her husband, the famous martyr Jim Elliot, serving the Lord. Elisabeth knew the firm foundation of the love of Christ and the ultimate security of belonging to Him. Don’t mistake what you don’t have right now as the Lord not being enough for you. He is enough in any and all things. Nothing can separate you from His love. NOTHING.
PRAYER – Thank God for His amazing love in Christ Jesus. Thank Him for the security that it gives and nothing can keep you from Him. Ask Him for greater faith to trust Him during trials.
