"If God be for us, who can be against us?' (Rom 8:31; KJV), Well of course the answer is no one. We have proof from scripture too, Psalm 27:1 says: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" Again, the answer is no one. It doesn't matter who is against us if God is for us.

1 John 4:4 tells us that the God who is inside of us is greater than anyone else, and that includes the devil. The devil is of course against us because we belong to God. We need to truly believe what that verse says - God is greater, because Jesus defeated satan at Calvary (Heb. 2:14).

In 2 Kings 6:16 we read about Elisha and his servant when they were fighting a large army of Syrians. Elisha told his servant not to fear because: "they that be with us are more than they that be with them". That lines up with what we are talking about today. God allowed the servant to actually see in the spiritual realm that this was true. We need to close our eyes and allow the Holy Spirit to paint a picture of God’s answer to our challenges in our minds; that will help develop our faith.

God is for you; we learn in Jer 29:11 that God has a good plan for our lives, it is a plan for peace that will bring us hope. We are always on God's mind (Ps 139:17) and God loves us with an everlasting love (Jer 31:3,4). Even if our day is not going the way we planned today, we must remember that God is for us and he works all things together for good for those that love him (Rom 8:28). Nothing can separate us from his love (Rom 8:35).
