Romans 8:28-39
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose.God planned that those he had chosen would become like his Son. In that way, Christ will be the first and most honored among many brothers and sisters.And those God has planned for, he has also appointed to be saved. Those he has appointed, he has made right with himself. To those he has made right with himself, he has given his glory.What should we say then? Since God is on our side, who can be against us?God did not spare his own Son. He gave him up for us all. Then won’t he also freely give us everything else?Who can bring any charge against God’s chosen ones? God makes us right with himself.Then who can sentence us to death? No one. Christ Jesus is at the right hand of God and is also praying for us. He died. More than that, he was raised to life.Who can separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or hard times or harm or hunger? Can nakedness or danger or war?It is written,“ Because of you, we face death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be killed.”( Psalm 44:22)No! In all these things we are more than winners! We owe it all to Christ, who has loved us.I am absolutely sure that not even death or life can separate us from God’s love. Not even angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers can separate us.Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can separate us. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.

Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up against the Lord. The rulers of the earth join together against his anointed king.“ Let us break free from their chains,” they say.“ Let us throw off their ropes.”The God who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans.When he is angry, he warns them. When his anger blazes out, he terrifies them.He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”

Job 22:5-30
Haven’t you done many evil things? Don’t you sin again and again?You took clothes away from your relatives just because they owed you some money. You left them naked for no reason at all.You didn’t give any water to people who were tired. You held food back from those who were hungry.You did it even though you were honored and powerful. You owned land and lived on it.But you sent widows away without anything. You mistreated children whose fathers had died.That’s why traps have been set all around you. That’s why sudden danger terrifies you.That’s why it’s so dark you can’t even see. That’s why a flood covers you up.“ Isn’t God in the highest parts of heaven? See how high the highest stars are!But you still say,‘ What does God know? Can he see through the darkest clouds to judge us?He goes around in the highest heavens. Thick clouds keep him from seeing us.’Will you stay on the old path that sinful people have walked on?They were carried off even before they died. Their foundations were washed away by a flood.They said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can you do to us, you Mighty One?’But he was the one who filled their houses with good things. So I don’t pay any attention to the plans of evil people.“ Those who do what is right are joyful when they see sinners destroyed. Those who haven’t done anything wrong make fun of them.They say,‘ Our enemies are completely destroyed. Fire has burned up their wealth.’“ Job, obey God and be at peace with him. Then he will help you succeed.Do what he teaches you to do. Keep his words in your heart.If you return to the Mighty One, you will have what you had before. But first you must remove everything that is evil far from your tent.You must throw your gold nuggets away. You must toss your gold from Ophir into a valley.Then the Mighty One himself will be your gold. He’ll be like the finest silver to you.You will find delight in the Mighty One. You will honor God and trust in him.You will pray to him, and he will hear you. You will keep the promises you made to him.What you decide to do will be done. Light will shine on the path you take.When people are brought low you will say,‘ Lift them up!’ Then God will help them.He’ll even save those who are guilty. He’ll save them because your hands are clean.”
