God Is For Me, Not Against Me

 Romans 8:31-32  "If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

     "God is and will forever be for you and not against you. Through the deepest trials, know that Jesus is with you and that He has already won the toughest battles for you. He asks that you simply trust in Him and know that He has always been there for you." [christiantoday.com]
     Romans 8:31-32, "This verse gives us hope, not that we will always prevail, but that our eternal destiny and the love of God are secure. Though we may suffer, we will not be destroyed. No matter how bad things seem, we must remember that “God is for us;” He loves us deeply. We are His children."
     I want to show by examples in my life, how God has gotten me through some basic things that most people take for granted.  Sometimes the struggle has been real, but whether big or small, God has provided.
     As I went thru the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant with a friend the other day, I was reminded of my past struggles with this task.  When driving alone and getting hungry, I used to write down my order, go up to the menu speaker, say nothing, then go up to the pickup window, and give the confused worker my order.  I never really encountered a problem, just a bit of confusion.
