If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31

If God is for us, who can be against us? Well, the answer is simply all the evil forces that contradict the goodness of our Lord. The devil's one goal is to draw our attention away from God. But what we must understand is that the devil has no actual power over us who have claimed the name of Jesus as our Savior. He may tempt us and try to make us believe his lies about how we can do it on our own or how we can make our own selves happy without the help of God, but it's still our own decision whether or not to believe him.

If God is for us, then when we put our faith in Him, he will keep us safe from the fear of the devil. If God is for us, then He will comfort us when this world has caused us to hurt. If God is for us, then He will encourage us when we don't think we can make it another day. If God is for us, then He will rejoice with us when those joyous times in our lives arise. If God is for us, then He will push us to be better...He will remind us when we've messed up...He will share with us our calling in life...He will lift us up...He will speak to us...He will shape us...He will love us.

If God is for us, who can be against us? It doesn't matter because God is simply more than enough to make up for whatever there is in this world that may try to contradict His plan for our lives.

Are you living out each day with the hope and assurance that only God can give? God wants to let you know that He's for you, He's with you and He's never going to leave you.

In the love of Christ,
