Through Thick and Thin
Through Thick and Thin
by: Pastor David Wood
Romans 8:35-39 NIV
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[Psalm 44:22]
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.
Let’s face it, this life we live, though it has good times, also has many hard times as well. Then all the rest fall into places in between. It is quite a rollercoaster ride if you ask me. I know you didn’t but still, it is.
These verses cover a large swath of the bad side for us. Trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger or sword. Luckily, I have not experienced all of these things or I might not be writing this right now. I have had quite a nasty hangnail though. That didn’t even make the list.
I think the overall theme in all this is that we should expect life to be all over the place. We should expect easy times and times that stretch us so thin, you could hold us up to a light and see right through us. But it’s all with a purpose and a plan and no matter what happens, God goes through it with us. Right there through thick and thin! Thanks, God!
