Scripture: Proverbs 4 ; Proverbs 5 ; Proverbs 6 ; Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Observation: I love Paul's thoughts this morning. They are words of comfort and assurance--I am thinking of some people who need those words today--not just the words but the state of being they reveal.
Application: I go through this life fighting lots of battles--winning some and losing some. However, the important thing is how the battle is fought and why the battle is fought.
The Holy Spirit leads me sometimes into places where I am a little shakey from lack of experience or whatever, but always stays with me until the finish. That presence brings strength and courage to carry on. I am rambling a little today, but I know one thing God is with me and God loves me and according to Paul nothing can seperate me from that presence and that love.
I said earlier that I was thinking of some folks that need to hear those words today. Some of these folks are going into new territory--retirement, expanding appointments, battling disease, etc. I pray for them today and if I get a chance I will remind them of Paul's words for them today.
Prayer: I pray for those who are overcome with life today. I pray Lord that your presence will evident in all of our lives today and that your love will be the power and strength that pulls us through each day. Thanks for always being present, Stephen
Yieldedness: I will lose any notion that God is not present with me at all times.
