Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-25

Romans 8:38-39 (LSB) 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 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.

Life can be hard. Sometimes it seems like we barely get past one dilemma, and another one comes crashing down.

Sometimes we make choices that we question.

We spend our waking hours looking backwards, wondering if we could (or should) have done something differently. And maybe if we had, we would not have ended up in the situation we are currently in.

And we beat ourselves up, over and over again, blaming ourselves for the mess we are in.

And then we begin to question whether God could still love us because of the things we have done.

And sometimes it may seem that God has gone silent, abandoning us; leaving us to wallow in painful solitude in our darkness and misery.

But the truth is that this solitude and silence is not a byproduct of God abandoning us. He does not stop loving us because of the things we have done.

If there is one constant in life, it is God’s love.

It never changes. It is more powerful than our finite human minds can comprehend.

And it is that love that never fails; never faltering because of a choice we made or a trial that we are facing.

Never let the enemy, or your mind, convince you that God has left.

Does He go quiet at times? Yes.

But does He ever stop loving us, or will He cast us aside because of our choices?

Never.

So, what do we do when we have messed up, and we feel like we have blown it for the final time and we cannot possibly be redeemed?

We go to Him. We repent. We bare our souls before Him. And we worship Him, even in the deafening silence.

And we lay our cares and shortcomings at His feet.

And then we let Him work in our heart to propel us past the darkness and condemnation that the enemy has blanketed us in, looking expectantly to Him for His peace once again; that peace that surpasses all understanding.

And we watch as he delivers us as only He can do.

Amen
