Scripture to Read: Romans 8:38–39
We have more good news today from God’s Word, and it’s worth memorizing. We memorize God’s Word because our minds can easily get focused on the darkness in this world. As we memorize God’s Word, He uses His Word to encourage, transform, and renew our minds. We read in Romans 8:38–39, For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We, as Christians, need to live “convinced” of God’s Truth. Think about how often we have been sidetracked by the questions this dark world throws us. This lost world will ask us questions or make statements as follows: “How can you know God’s Word is true,” “how do you know Christ is the only way to heaven,” “how can you trust the Bible since people interpret it differently,” and “since the Bible was written so long ago, it doesn’t matter if we follow everything in it; therefore, we should be open-minded.” The spiritual forces of darkness love to get us sidetracked with their lies. God wants us to live convinced of His Truth. Lost people will always struggle with understanding God’s Truth because, according to 2 Corinthians 4:3–4, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.” Live convinced of His Truth, and you’ll live victorious each day.
