NEVER ALONE

Rom. 8:31 What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?  NLT

       Maybe you have never known what it is like to have people against you, but I have.  It’s not a very pleasant experience.  No one wants others to create pain and suffering against them.  No one wants to be on the receiving end of someone else’s wrath.  No one wants to be accused of things that are demeaning or that might be hurtful.  It just isn’t a good time of life.

       Yet, today’s verse helps to put things into perspective.  Jesus was on the receiving end of much persecution, both verbally and physically.  He was constantly under scrutiny from His enemies.  He rarely faced a day in which He wasn’t under fire.  He knew what it was like and He wants us to know as well that when God is on our side, we can overcome the worst of satanic attacks.

       When you go through life’s adversities, just try to remember that you are not alone in your battles.  The Lord is on our side at all times.  So in reality, who can ever be truly against us?  The Lord makes available to us all the resources of heaven to help, so what can overpower us? 

      Whenever you come under fire, look to the Lord and all He has done.  Whatever you may face in life, the Lord is on your side.  Dwell in His presence and on His Word and you will have the resolve to not buckle underneath it all.  Victory is certain for all who keep Christ as their shield and protector.
