Not Just Victory, But …

Romans 8:37-39 But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us. Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When you’re facing some sort of adversity in your life, the idea that you can have victory over it, the idea that you can overcome it, not some time in the future, but right there, while you’re in the midst of it, is not an easy one to wrap your heart around.

There’s no doubt that a great part of living life is overcoming adversity. It comes in all different shapes and sizes. The adversity that you’ve faced in your life is no doubt different to mine, but adversity is adversity.

Day after day we run into obstacles, irritations, conflict – all sorts of things that we need to get through.

The Apostle Paul had more than his fair share of adversity; shipwreck and famine, riots and floggings, assassination attempts … you name it, he faced it. And yet he is able to write this:

Romans 8:37-39 But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us. Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Not just victory, mind you, but complete victory. He doesn’t just feel as though he’s conquered these things, but more than conquered them. Why? How? Because nothing – absolutely nothing that he’s faced, nothing that he can possibly imagine that he will face one day – is going to be able to separate him from the amazing love that God has shown us in Jesus Christ.

Whatever you’re facing, remember that. Nothing will ever be able to separate you from God’s love. And that right there isn’t just victory. It’s complete victory.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.

I’m glad to have this victory, I say it all the time, “I plead the blood” and I know no matter what I’m facing God says He’ll never leave or forsaken me.

I’m facing some challenges right now but I’m trusting in him and holding on to his unchanging hands.
