Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 7 August 2020

If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?

 

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

 

Today’s Morsel:  People in every walk of life are looking for hope.  The world in which we live has sold them a false ticket to true happiness.  Many have become obsessed with things that cannot give them satisfaction.  The world has become a generation of instantaneous living.  People always want satisfaction “now.”  Fear has gripped the hearts of many and has caused them to fall away from faith in Christ.  Christians do not seem to know where to turn.  Their minds are confused.  The Corona Virus has them more afraid than the people in the world.  As Jesus said in Luke 16:8 “…for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.  The whole earth is off course and spinning out of control and downward.  It has become suddenly a confusing place in which to live.  Hell has enlarged herself.  People do not know who to trust, nor do they seem to know where to seek help.  They are looking for any place or any person who can offer them hope.  They want hope but so many are looking in the wrong place.  Paul’s words still ring true, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”(Romans 15:4)  There is still hope in Jesus Christ.  And you can find Him when you seek for Him with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.  Because if God be for us, who can be against us?

 

Sing:  If God be for us, who can be against us?  If God be for us, who can be against us?  If God be for us, who can be against us?  Just have faith in the power of His word.

By faith be fearless fighting in the battle.  By faith be fearless fighting in the battle.  By faith be fearless fighting in the battle.  Just have faith in the power of His word.

 

Thought For Today: “If God be for us, everyone else might as well be.” (John Grant)
