6-18-2009. . . . The Keep Power of God’s Love!
Faster than a speeding bullet. . . .More powerful than a locomotive. . . .Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! You don’t have to look up in the sky or determine if it’s a bird or a plane, I’m talking about the keeping power of God’s love! It’s so amazing when you think about it! Nothing (No Thing) or nobody can separate us from it! Now, that’s power! Hear again the Apostle Paul’s description of it: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 8:35-39 KJV) I think that list covers anything and anyone we may encounter! If His love went to the extreme extent of saving us. . . . that same love yet prevails and will keep us! What a wonderful since of security. In the words of Oleta Adams, (one of my favorite singers), “This love won’t harm you. . . This love remains true. . . . This love is for you not against you. . . .This love won’t fail!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for loving me like you do! How awesome you are and your love is incomprehensible! May it keep me forever and bring me safely and securely into eternity. Amen!
Rom 8:35-39. . . . Who then can ever keep Christ's love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because he doesn't love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us? No, for the Scriptures tell us that for his sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day-we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us. For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are-high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean-nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.
