Hey, Y'all,
It's been great to hear from many of you these past few days on the just-concluded set of "anxiolytic" RSTs, and today's is a response to these from my mom (thanks, Mai!)--I'd forgotten this little detail in another story...
I really liked your RST today; the assurance that God is with us in the middle of the storms. He is right there with us, and nothing can separate us from Him and His love for us. Reminds me of the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 when he was fleeing from Ahab and Jezebel and after forty days and nights of running he came to Mount Horeb. Verse 9: "There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the Lord came to him and said: 'what are you doing here, Elijah?'" It is so wonderful that the Lord did not say "What are you doing there, Elijah?" He said "what are you doing here?" He was right there with him in that dark cave, after all that running and hiding; His Father was right there next to him...I love that!
How about you--any other story come to mind with a similar theme? Send it in and we'll all share in the blessing! Here's the passage from Romans my mom paraphrased above:
"If God is for us, who can be against us? ... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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."
Romans 8:31-39
You've been prayed for today...
