The revolting sound of my alarm clock called my name this morning at 6. -Forget it,- I muttered under my breath, -this is a black day.- I turned over, planning to skip devotions, cancel worship, and walk into work wearing a scowl and all black. Thirty minutes passed--6:30--the time when I usually awaken my housemates for worship. From my sleep a knock at the door called for my attention. No way. I knew I had to get up. I went to my door and no one was there. I knocked on my housemates' doors figuring one of them had done it, but they hadn't. -Might as well have worship,- I surmised.
The devotional verse was from Romans 8. The point was, no matter what comes into our lives, it cannot separate us from the love of God. Trials can come. Heartaches may befall us. Nothing can separate us. Read the chapter. I was in tears as I finished reading it in its entirety after worship. Nothing can separate us. As you read the end of the chapter, substitute in all the problems that you think you have and realize that nothing can separate you from His love that was manifested in Jesus Christ our Lord.
