If God is For Us...

...Who can be against us? This is a classic Bible verse (Romans 8:28-31), and one that is especially helpful in helping us develop our faith. The verse is a bit confusing, because people can actually be against us. However, if God is for us (and He certainly is), they have no chance of prospering against us.

There are a number of great Bible stories that demonstrate this. When Moses led the people out of Egypt, there was no chance that the Egyptians would be able to capture them and bring them back. Because God was with David, a young, untrained shepherd, he was able to defeat a 10 foot, feared-by-all warrior. Because the apostles were filled with the Spirit, they were able to overcome opposition while successfully spreading the Christian word.

The same is true in our lives. In any situation, if we pray and put our full focus into any endeavor, we can not be defeated. It's as simple as that. As with the other verses I've shared in the past few days, the key is to meditate on this verse and drill it into our conscious minds. The more we do, the more we will live it automatically. The result is a greater faith and confidence.

Have an excellent day : )
