Paul wrote this
passage in Romans 8 for us and others for such a time as this. Read what he
wrote to encourage the Roman believers.
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-39 [NLT])
Nothing can ever separate us from the Love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Not coronavirus. Not lack of ventilators. Not slowness of a
countries' leadership. Not lack of medicine or lack of beds. NOTHING can
separate from God those who have been cleansed by Jesus' death, those who have
believed He is the Son of God, who came to take away the sins of the world.
What are you
letting cause you distress and inner turmoil at this time? That is just Satan
trying to make you forget Who is mightier, most faithful, most loving, most
merciful, most gracious, ever-present, all-knowing, and almighty. Don't forget
about YAHWEH God, the Alpha and Omega, from before time and beyond time. He is
greater than anything Satan throws at you. YAHWEH GOD is our KING, LORD,
SAVIOR, CREATOR, PROVIDER, HEALER, REDEEMER, FATHER, SHEPHERD, and the ONE AND
ONLY GOD! There is no other God!
So, what is bothering you and unsettling your mind today? Pray to God. Ask Him to help you cast Satan away from you. Pray Scripture. Read God's promises. Proclaim them aloud. Listen and sing songs of praise and worship to God. Proclaim Him your GOD! He is with you in every breath your lungs take, in every beat your heart makes, in every breeze that blows across your arms, and in every sight of His creation you glimpse. Praise GOD for even the rocks will cry out, "Hosanna to the King of kings!"
If you are struggling with the overwhelming news from this pandemic and are worried about now and the future, you can message me, and we can chat. If you want to pray with me, we can pray. If you just want to know you are not alone, write to me and we can talk. God is with us, for us, and in us since we are His children by His grace and mercy given to us through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ.
May God bless you today as you
seek Him,
find Him, and
gain His strength to walk through your day.
Jesus told His
disciples, "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the
peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So, don’t be troubled or
afraid." (John 14:27 [NLT])
Accept His peace. It's right there, just accept it.
