December 1 Our Greatest Advocate and Asset Romans 8:31
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
The beautiful reality is that our God protects us and guards us because He loves us and we belong to Him! The fact of life is that we will encounter folks that are opposed to our faith and our God and what we live and stand for, and they are willing to do whatever to harm us and to stop the message of Jesus! Satan never grows weary in challenging believers, and he will continue to mount attacks against us, at every possible opportunity! Remember what James told us, in James 1:2-3: “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James tells us that difficulties and challenges WILL come; however, the positive is that they will be used to make us stronger! When I face the challenges and trials, authored by Satan, and they are daily, I PRAISE GOD, that during the trials, MY GOD IS FOR ME, and HE PROMISED THAT HE WOULD HOLD ME CLOSE! He is our SHIELD, our SECURITY, our PROTECTOR! Our God’s Power to give us VICTORY is GREATER than any power that Satan has, that would defeat us! Think on this: Our God can, and does OVERRULE all things, and NOTHING can OVERRULE HIM! “If God be for us, who can be against us?” He is the greatest advocate that we will ever have, so live your life in the reality of HIS POWER and PRESENCE and recognize that He is fighting for YOU! Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
