Key Verse: Verse 31 – “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Key Words: If God be for us, who can be against us
If God is for you and me, then no matter how others may try to harm us or even destroy us, God will work all things out for our good.
The following story reminds me of this Biblical truth. Horace Greeley, famous editor of the New York Tribune, was noted for having the most illegible handwriting there was. Often he couldn’t even read it himself if it was a few hours “cold.” One day he wrote an editorial just before the paper went to press, and the typesetter could hardly read it, and because it was too late for correction, it appeared in print with a number of outstanding errors. When Greeley read it, he was furious. He fired the typesetter on the spot. He even wrote him a scorching letter in which he denounced him for his stupidity. But the note was in such a terrible hand the typesetter couldn’t read it.
But since he had been told in person that he was fired, he set out to look for another job at the office of a rival newspaper. The foreman at the other paper asked him if he had any recommendations. “Sure,” said the man, “I’ve got a letter from Mr. Greeley.” And he produced the letter in which Greeley called him all sorts of names. The foreman glanced at it, but couldn’t read it either. He asked, “How much are you making with Greeley?” The typesetter named a figure. The foreman replied, “I’ll give you $15 a week more. Start tomorrow morning.”
