If someone meditating on the truth that nothing can separate them from God isn't quite sure what all the nothing is, they can just turn to Romans 8:31-39. There's a complete list of all the catastrophes in life that you just might think could pry you out of God's Hands.
How about,
Tribulation? No.
Distress? Ugh Uh.
Persecution? Forget it.
Famine? Never.
Nakedness? Of Course not.
Danger? Negative.
Sword? Under no circumstances.
What an encouraging truth that no matter what life circumstance you find yourself in, nothing can ever separate you from the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8) and He will never leave us or forsake us (Heb 13:5).
May you be encouraged today that there is not one plunder in this world that could ever get between
you and God.
I've actually been reflecting on this text for the last couple of weeks. Such a wonderful reminder of Christ's sacrifice. Because of him we are to live a life that is guilt free, worry free and full of purpose. There is NO THING too hard for God. I'm FEARLESS ;-).
ReplyDeleteGreat minds read alike! A life full of purpose... praise God for giving us purpose!
