IF GOD BE FOR US

IF GOD BE FOR US

Romans 8:31-35 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

  My medical mission team and I had been in the Kolar Gold Fields in India for almost a week and their police had been harassing us the entire week trying to take our passports etc. On the day before we were to leave they took us to the police station and held us for almost 4 hours, questioning each of us repeatedly about the information on our passports. They finally let us go and after we were back at our motel we discussed calling the American Embassy, but decided to wait and see what the next day would bring. We each prayed for guidance, strength and protection. We later learned that the American Embassy had closed two weeks earlier because of the Gulf War.

  We had been there the whole time with no protection except from our heavenly Father. THIS WAS ALL WE NEEDED!
