Weekly Devotional - June 9th

What, then, shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not

spare His own Son but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give

us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, instead who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  

Just as it is written,

“For Your sake, we are being put to death all day long;

We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

Romans 8:31-36

Believers must maintain a high view of God as the supreme and holy ruler of all things. This is the same God who spoke the universe into existence. How could such a powerful, just, and loving God, who sacrificed His Son for our redemption, allow anything or anyone to derail His ultimate plan of redemption? Of course, He will not allow it. Only a lower view of God would provide a different answer.
