Sharing Hope for a Troubled World

‘No, in all these things we are more than conquerors though him who loved us.’  
(Romans 8:37)

In this world, being a Christian believer does not save you from trouble, sorrow, pain and distress.
Indeed, in some places Christians are persecuted and even murdered for their faith.
And yet, we are called ‘more than conquerors’. How is this true?
Through Jesus and his promise that he will always be with us.
How do we know that we can trust him? Because of his love.
But notice that this verse says ‘loved’. It does not mean that he once loved and does so no more.
It means that the greatest expression of his love is his death on the cross.
In the midst of all our troubles, look to the cross and be assured of his love.

Question for thought:  What does the cross of Jesus mean to me?

Gracious Lord, we pray for members in Toliara, Madagascar as they care and support
those who have suffered through droughts and storms. May they encourage
them to come to the weekly activities including Bible studies and learning practical skills
to help them overcome adversity, poverty and very little education.  Amen.
