Today's Devotion: Romans 8:33 (New International Version)
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

There are two points to this verse:

1. We are chosen by God
2. We are justified by God

Anybody that stands between God and us (i.e. Satan) will not prevail as long as God is on our side.

Today's Comments:

Between yesterday's root canal and today's State Military Reserve Duty, I am wasted. However, it is a comforting thought that I am still alive and am still working toward my goal as a deacon. As I stated in a message that I sent to a friend, "At this stage in life, all I can do is try to do something to fulfill the purpose of my being. Although I am so busy, I feel at peace with life. That tells me that I am doing the right thing."
