Worship Emphasis
When I was a freshman in college, I was really struggling with what direction to go in my life. A friend told me to read Romans 8: 28-39. In that moment of my life this scripture gave me security of knowing that no matter what I chose to do, my God was there for me. Verse 28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose. Verse 31 reminds us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” And verse 37 says, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
I pray that if you are struggling in life that these promises will help you. ~ Kurt
