“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?” - Romans 8:31 (NASB)
Our lives, because we have professed our faith in Jesus, does encounter opposition from the world system. Because it is ruled by the enemy of our souls and the father of lies, the heat can become unpleasant. This is especially true and evident if we are about the work God has called us to as His messengers in the world. When those times come our way and they are pretty consistent as we are pressing on for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. The promise in today’s selected verse is an absolute truth. God is for us. Anyone trying to be against us is not succeeding. With God being for us, all the effort against us is disappearing like vapor, into nothing. So, we can say that because God is for us, who can stand against us? The only time the enemy gains ground is when we listen to his lies and give in to the fears and temptations, he throws in our paths. Like a spike strip to puncture proof tires, there is no effect. Trust this promise today and become aware of how our enemy has been defeated.
