DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 6:24 to 7:20; Jer. 41 to 42:6; Heb. 10:19-39

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

These are two questions, which, if they don’t render us speechless will cause us to respond with the simple words, “nothing” and “no one”. What more can we add to God’s own assessment of His great work toward us? (v. 30) Nothing! And who can bring a single charge against God’s elect, since it is God who justifies? (v. 33) No one! Not the devil, not the world, not all the enemies of God can do that. I am His and He is mine and His banner over me is love—forever! —Mark Kolchin

Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. —G. Robinson
