If God is for you……?

One of the most encouraging things you can hear when you are going through a difficult time, is your friend says to you, “don’t worry, I got your back!” That is the modern way of saying that your friend is watching out for you. That let’s you know that you are not alone.  Are you aware that God has declared that to us? The Lord Jesus said that He is with us and will never leave us (Hebrews 13:5). The Lord reminds you today that He is with you, and if He is with you, who can be against you that would be more powerful? You are on the winning side!

Romans 8:31-32 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”

They won’t succeed!

I have often appreciated Romans 8:31 which says: “What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” However, I have asked myself, If God is for me, then why do I still have foes or enemies, since the verse says” who can be against us?” I always understood innately that God would protect me from my enemies, but I wasn’t entirely clear on this verse. Then I read this verse from the Amplified version and everything cleared up for me. Here is what it says: “What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?” That really clarified this truth. It’s not that God won’t permit people to come against us. It’s that no attack that is launched against us will succeed. People can attack us, but their attacks will ultimately fail. God sets a table before us in the presence of our enemies (Psalms 23:5)! They will see the banquet table, but they won’t be able to stop your blessing. God will work all things out for our good. Remember that today!
