"If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us???"

(Romans 8:31)














Ladies, it is the final week of the Maker's Diet. Wow. How time flew by! I am sure some of us are relieved, while others of us will make this a way of life, but still relieved not to be "under the pressure" of conformity with a group! LOL! Either way, I am almost positive we are ALL grateful for the fellowship and lasting relationships we built with one another.



I just felt in my heart to declare over everyone of us the verse that if God is for us, who could ever be against us?? It is a well-known verse that we often recite when times of trouble come upon us. Often times, unfortunately, it is said in arrogance, which does not glorify our God. He intended this verse to be one of assurance..not used in a prideful way.



Like a little child looking to his father for protection when scared, is the same way we should declare this statement during times of trial and uncertainty. Even during times of failure. I am sure we have all met failure at one junction or another, but let's look into the eyes of our Lord, and say, "God, you are for me. So don't let failure be against me. Take my failures, Lord, and count them forward to my successes. Lord, I am a trophy in the making, and you are my Coach. I submit myself to knowing that you are FOR ME today!"



Sisters, let's not let the negative attitudes and selfish actions of others AND ourselves ever prohibit us from seeing HOW GOD IS FOR US. HE is our sword and our shield, standing ever ready to protect us from the onslaught of our unseen enemy. Let's look to Him today as our covering, proclaiming that He has a plan and a purpose in ALL we do. Including this Diet.



Blessings.
