Only one thing can account for it- the love of God in Christ Jesus. Logic is silenced in the face of each of these things which come against him.

“Shall…famine…?” Can we not only believe in the love of God but also be “more than conquerors,” even while we are being starved?Įither Jesus Christ is a deceiver, having deceived even Paul, or else some extraordinary thing happens to someone who holds on to the love of God when the odds are totally against him. “Shall…distress…?” Can God’s love continue to hold fast, even when everyone and everything around us seems to be saying that His love is a lie, and that there is no such thing as justice? My Utmost For His Highest The Lordis long-suffering toward us, not willing that If, when a crisis comes, we instinctively turn to God, we We cast off. “Shall tribulation…?” Tribulation is never a grand, highly welcomed event but whatever it may be- whether exhausting, irritating, or simply causing some weakness- it is not able to “separate us from the love of Christ.” Never allow tribulations or the “cares of this world” to separate you from remembering that God loves you ( Matthew 13:22). I feel sorry for the Christian who doesn’t have something in the circumstances of his life that he wishes were not there. And he said we are “super-victors” in the midst of them, not because of our own ingenuity, nor because of our courage, but because none of them affects our essential relationship with God in Jesus Christ. Paul was not referring here to imaginary things, but to things that are dangerously real. “ In all these things we are more than conquerors…” ( Romans 8:37). It doesn’t matter how real or intense the adversities may be nothing can ever separate him from his relationship to God. God does not keep His child immune from trouble He promises, “I will be with him in trouble…” ( Psalm 91:15).
