"If God be for us who can be against us?"*
Well I know who; and he is busy with me right now! I'm just getting ready for the mission trip to Louisianna. Doubts and worries are popping up all over!
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 NKJV As a sober vigilant person, I've called
on a few good trusted Christian friends, asked for their prayers and support, prayed; and now I'm ready for a walk through God's word.
Like a lot of Christians, I can come up with bible quotes that I've no idea where they're found.
I'm just pretty sure it's in there.Take the one at the top of this article. It was a hard one to find! You see even with my concordance (look it up by the words, Bible quote book); I couldn't find it. The key words-God,For, and Against are too common! Thank God for the internet--I put my little phrase into a Bible-on-line concordance and instantly had my answer.
So check it out by going to Romans 8:31, in fact you may want to read the entire chapter.
It's full of the reassurance I was in need of.
In fact I can quote a Psalm to show my newfound confidance and trust in God:
"As long as I have you, I don't need anyone else in heaven or on earth. My body and mind may waste away, but God remains the foundation of my life and my inheritance forever."Psalm 73:25 &26 God's Word Translation
Learn that one and the 1 Peter 5:8 and just keep reading your Bible.
