In these crazy times of chaos, confusion and change we all need a huge boost of encouragement and peace of mind. That’s where the word of God comes in….it never changes, is always true and is readily available to us.
President George W Bush delivered these words taken from Romans 8 v 37-39 during the memorial service at the National Cathedral in Washington DC after the attacks on 9/11 ….applicable then and now:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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”.
These words are so profound and needed at this time, so I will repeat them as taken from the Passion translation of the Bible:
“So now I live with confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above or beneath us– no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus Christ the Anointed One!”
The perfect promise from our covenant-keeping God, his love endures forever no matter what!
