Romans 8:31-32
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Sometimes when I'm not in a good place spiritually I take on this kinda' world against me mentality. Thoughts like "I can't win" or "I gotta' do this right otherwise it won't work" or one of many other pieces of 'stinkin' thinkin'. To use a sports analogy, it's like I feel that I'm going to play a game at an opponents gym, and am going to play with my feet bound.
Well this verse really helps fight these thoughts. God's saying "hey, look at how much I gave up FOR YOU Jamie. Do you seriously believe I won't take care of you in all those little things?" Going back to the sports analogy, I think it's an impossible away game, when in reality, I'm playing all my games at home with everything possible in MY FAVOR through Christ. Talk about a home court advantage! Father, help me today to remember what a huge price you paid when you gave up your precious son. Help me to correct my thinking, and to lean on you and trust your provision in all things in my life, amen.
