*.* If God is for us... *.*
Romans 8:31-32
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
If God is for us, who can be against us? Friends, I love this Scripture more and more every time I read it. When God gives a vision or gives us a desire to do something, He will provide the means for us to fulfill our callings because He is for us. And if God calls you to something, no matter who is against you, they will fail to stop you or hinder you. If you have a decision in your heart and you dedicate it to God, God approves and you are not sure if it will come true, this is a good verse to meditate on.
However friends, this verse works only if we have faith to believe it to come to pass. Because you need to learn to trust God to fight for you. Secondly, God has to approve of your decisions or it has to be in alignment to God's will. If God says "NO," then no matter what you do, it is gonna be in vain. Take trials and testings for example. The Bible says that God will not allow us to be tested beyond our abilities. Then whenever the devil attacks you, you know that God is for you and wants you to learn to trust Him to fight for you. And when the devil attacks, you can still overcome because God is for you and will give you the strength to overcome.
In the Book of Acts, one of the elders of the Sanhedrin stood up and told the other Pharisees and Saducees to reconsider about persecuting the Church in Jerusalem. He said to them, "And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God." (Acts 5:38-39)
If God is for you, no matter what people plot against you, it will fail. So today you must learn to trust God and commit your whole life into God's hands. However, do not rebellious and proud either. God does not approve of everything we do. If you want to take revenge on someone for a wrong, God definitely will stop you from taking revenge, but He will help to convict the person of his sin. Whatever God approves it will come to pass, whatever God disapproves it will fail. However, today in your life you can trust God to fight for you in your finances, relationships, health, career, education, family, ministry etc.
But then also, if God is NOT for you, then it doesn't matter who IS for you. As long as God is on your side on an issue, you will have the victory. If you don't, and if God is against you, you will surely fall. Listen to God's voice, learn to trust in Him and confess this verse in your life always.
