"So Powerful, So Simple"

There is simply too much talk and not enough...we want to say action! I will say "belief!" We simply read God's word and set it down, putting little faith in what we read. Instead of reading, absorbing and accepting, we take God's word and set it down like we just finished a newspaper or some magazine. It leaves us drained in the face of life's trials. We need to put our faith in what we read in God's word. We need to let our hearts rest in the Lord and the power of His might. That's enough talk, let's just read, listen and believe...
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? Just as it is written, 'For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor thing present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom. 8:31-39)
What more needs to be said? Do you believe it? Have a good day!!!!
