GOD IS FOR US
If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
ROMANS 8:31 NLT
God is on our side! That may sound overly simplistic, but we need to cling to that basic truth when the world undermines and even attacks our faith in Jesus. Our culture is becoming increasingly hostile to believers. It is a very real battle, but God has promised to guard our hearts and minds.
We also need to remember that God is on our side when we consider the fact that Satan is a stronger, deadlier enemy than any of the world’s threats or weapons. Eternity is at stake in the battle that matters most—the battle between holiness and evil, the battle for our souls. But God promises to protect His people and in truth, He has already won (John 12:31).
Lord, even though some days it is hard to be a believer, I will never stop trusting in You.
