I Am Persuaded

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39)

God can trust a faithful saint with less, with little, or with nothing. He can trust him or her with disappointment, disillusionment, and failure. He can expose the overcomer to impossible situations and challenges because nothing is impossible with God, and with God, impossible is nothing. 

The only true enemy for the overcomer is that which separates us from Christ. So, we put on the full armor of God and do pitched battle against anyone or anything that might move us from the holy ground on which we stand — and Lord is able to make us stand. This is our confidence. We have all we need in Him, and we give Him all He wants from us — and all He wants from us is faith.

Let’s Pray — Father, Your Word teaches me that nothing can or will separate me from the You. As long as You are with me, I will not falter or fear. You are my confidence, and my life is found wrapped up in the fullness of Christ. Thank You for this understanding — for this unfathomable gift. Amen.
