“If God is for us, who can be against us?” Rom. 8:31 (NIV) The answer to this rhetorical question is “no one.” Nobody can actually oppose us and take control of our lives against God’s will. Terrible things may happen to us but God redeems all of it. God is for us. He works for us. He blesses us. He gives us new life inside. He gives us wisdom to navigate our life. He is there and He is strengthening us against all that tries to come against us.
Simple application: put your name in the verse instead of “us.” Then say it out loud three times. Believe it. Live accordingly. (Also try inserting your name in all the sentences in this post.)
