Fires, hurricanes and accidents are happening all around us \u2013 none of us can be totally insulated from the possibility of something happening to us.\u00a0\u00a0Many of us are worry. We worry about our health, our wealth and what the future holds. Yet the Bible constantly encourages us not to worry. Today we read one of its great promises \u2013 \u201cIf God is for us, who can ever be against us?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some believe that it is arrogance for the believer to walk as if they are \u2018eternally secure.\u2019 \u201cSurely you cannot expect to be saved if you sin!\u201d Yet the reason we are secure is not because we are performing to some standard, but because Christ, our great High Priest, lives for ever and is constantly interceding on our behalf. The word \u2018intercession\u2019 means to \u2018appeal and petition.\u2019 As we can see from the context of Romans 8:38, the writer here is referring to the role of the Father. Paul asks us, \u201cSince he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won\u2019t he also give us everything else?\u201d In other words, if God was willing to give you the very best when you were the very worst, won\u2019t He now give you the very least since you mean to Him the very most?<\/p>\n<p>In our weakest moments, God the Spirit is praying for us. When we don\u2019t know what to do or how to pray, He is taking our needs and prayers and presenting them to the Father in a way that is in perfect harmony with God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 23-24 When God Is For You\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future.
