Scripture:
“Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (ERV) Application: Our greatest defeat is being separated from God. That separation can only occur if we choose to sin. Sin leads to sadness and ultimately physical and spiritual death. We understand that. But we should realize that the road sin takes leads us away from God. That increased distance between us and our loving Creator should scare us. We should pray for increased connection with God. When we pray, we're asking Him to "close the gap" between us and Him. Fortunately, God wants the same thing. No matter how far away we have drifted or run from Him, He wants us back. Amazing grace! Prayer: Father God, please help me close the distance between us. Nothing would make me happier and more complete than to be connected with You forever. Amen.
