God Is for Me

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

God Is for Me

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:39 

Paul began this section of his letter to the Romans with, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” He ended this section by affirming that because we belong to Jesus, nothing in all of creation has the power to separate us from the love of God. If you are like me, there have been times when you didn’t feel close to God, when you doubted that God could love you. These are feelings of our old nature; they are not the truth of God. Over and against these ungodly feelings the anthem of the Christian rings out, “I am a child of God and God is for me.”

Often, there is a longing in my heart, Maranatha; Come Lord Jesus. Yes, I long for Christ to come in Final Victory to heal every heart and to right every wrong. Oh, the glory to live in the wonderful dominion where every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, “Jesus is Lord.” In that dominion, our old nature will be dead and gone. Our new nature will live eternally with God, our Creator and Redeemer.

But that dominion is then and here I am, in this present age, this here and now. Even so, “I am a child of God and God is for me, and nothing, NOTHING can separate me from God’s love for me in Christ Jesus.

My Takeaway: Today I want to stay in God’s grace, His love for me, and I pray,

O Lord, our Lord,

how excellent is Thy name in all the earth;

I worship Thee.

With all angels and saints I adore Thee.

I acknowledge Thee to be by Creator and my God.

I render Thee the homage of my being and my life.

I am not my own,

I am Thine.

By creation and redemption

I am Thine.

I will devote myself to Thy divine service

this day and forever.

O grant me grace for this, dear Lord.

Amen

Sē’lah

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
