Driving to work the other morning I start thinking about the recent death of my youngest brother Charlie and then the death of an old friend only days ago and I can hear the words below as the song "who am I" plays on the radio. In that moment I happen to glance upwards and catch a huge bird of prey soaring above, before I could blink a sparrow, a tiny little bird, even smaller in contrast to the huge soaring bird of prey, lands on the back of this seemingly ominous predator. not only saved from peril but allowed to soar through the sky in away only a bird 10 times its size ever could....... The scripture and the title to this post floated through my mind "More then Conquers"
"I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours, I am Yours."
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
