Scripture: Romans 8:38-39
I’m convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord: not death or life, not angels or rulers, not present things or future things, not powers or height or depth, or any other thing that is created.
Thought for the Day: As we continue to work our way through Romans, I am quickly drawn to these words found at the end of the 8th chapter. In fact, I referenced them yesterday in a funeral. First of all, Paul uses the word nothing to described those things that can separate us from the love of God. It is not even a short list. It is a non-existent list. But just incase the reader did not grasp the meaning of nothing, Paul offers a poetic litany of potential items that people had suggested were worthy of separation, yet he crosses each of them off in his pursuit of defining the word nothing. I never thought I could enjoy nothing so much.
Prayer: Make me a believer in nothing but your love, O God, revealed in Jesus Christ. I like your nothing list as it is grace to me. Amen.
