Not To Be Undone

June 21

The Bible lists some formidable things that can challenge the life of a believer: death, life, angels, principalities, persecution, famine, the sword of war. Most of these things are not encountered on an every-day basis by most of us in modern America.

Yes, death will ultimately come to every man. Yes, life can be fraught with challenge—simply making a living in a troubled economy presents one that did not face our parents’ generation. Yes, fallen angels compel evil principalities to wage war that can result in persecution of believers and in great peril worldwide.

Natural disasters can upset the food supply and the world’s breadbasket can become unproductive to the end that famine will occur. How should we who believe in the omnipotence of our Almighty God and Savior face these and other such potential eventualities?

Romans 8:37 gives our encouraging answer. Here we are told, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.” We are assured that Jesus will give us the victory over every challenge that besets us. The Conqueror of hell and the grave will not allow His own to be undone by life!
