Morning by Morning, June 17 - “Who Can Be Against Us?” ... “Whom Shall I Fear?” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of all I am and all I do today. ... “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32 KJV) You are for me; and You are with me. You abide right here within me. I in You and You in me (John 15:4). So what have I to fear? What need is there to worry? ... “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the Strength of my life; of who shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1) Remind me of this Truth as I face every challenging circumstance. Remind me of Your Presence as I fight every battle. Yes, there will battles to fight and circumstances to face as I go through the days of my journey through this broken and fallen world. But just as You are at work in this world to redeem it, You are also at work in me--redeeming me, shaping me, growing me, defining me, encouraging me, empowering me, maturing me, making me more like You each day through all I go through (1 John 4:17). So what can stand against me? What can come against me that You will not ultimately turn around and use for me, as You’re conforming me in the image of the Son of God? “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:28-29). By the mercies of God, You’ve given me faith to believe in You, to trust in You, with all that I am and all that I have, as You freely offer to all who will receive and embrace the powerful, merciful, ever-present love and grace of God at work within us (John 3:16). So as I rise up now and go out into my day, I go with God. I go with the One who’s with me and abiding within me. And there’s nothing that can stand against me, nothing that can challenge me, that You will not use to make me more like You today. “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
