Romans 8:35-39 35 Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the
day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
People give in to their fears because it is less scary in
the short-term. Facing fears takes unbelievable strength. I have learned that
in order to overcome fears, you will have to ask God for help and then be
willing to accept that help in whatever form it comes.
Neither today’s fears nor worries about tomorrow can
separate us from God’s love. Knowing this, we can find comfort that even when
we are afraid, we have the promise of God’s unrelenting love.
Thought for today:
Can I and will I trust God’s ability to sustain?
