“Absolutely Nothing Can Get Between Us”
by Dona Hake
“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. ”
Romans 8:39 (The Message)
I love this “…Absolutely NOTHING can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.” Romans 8:39 Let us never forget that from the time we awaken till when we lay our head down to sleep that we should simply praise His Name and enjoy His love. Even in the daily duties and demands of our day our Lord can be ever present to minister His love, wisdom and strength if we permit Him to. Oh that we would purpose to remain in the presence of the One that eternally embraces us in His love!
Sometimes we can be guilty of permitting the distractions and difficulties to distort our focus on Him. It is in those times in which we are tempted to be distracted that we need to purpose to keep a conscientiousness that He has promised to never leave or forsake us. The Lord desires that there is an offering of praise proceeding from our hearts no matter what is going on around us. As we keep a heart of praise that does not cease, we will maintain an awareness that nothing can get between us and the Lord.
Psalm 42:8 (CEB)
“By day the Lord commands his faithful love;
by night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
“By day the Lord commands his faithful love;
by night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
