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.
Isn't it good to know that no matter what we face, God won't leave us? Now, this is not to say that we're on cruise control, we never have to stop sinning, etc, but what it does say is that when we do fall, He will be there helping to pick us up, waiting for us to come to Him with open arms.
There is a day coming where Christians of North America will face hardship like the disciples and early church faced, we are starting to see some of that with the laws passed and more. When those times come, or when we are facing severe temptation, God is there to give us the strength to overcome what comes our way, a way out. We just need to take it.
So what will you do when the tough times come? Buckle under the pressure and say what you need to get by? Or will you stand ready to declare the name of Jesus in spite of what man may do?
