Unshakable

Today’s passage, Romans 8:31-39, is one of my favorites in all of Scripture. I can confidently say that, throughout my years of teaching and pastoring, I have quoted these verses more often than any others. This passage emphasizes the beautiful and powerful truth that God is always on our side, and his steadfast love for us will never end. 

The king had been humbled. The great Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, who had been compared to a lion (Jeremiah 4:7) and an eagle (Ezekiel 17:3-12), was driven from his kingdom to eat grass like an ox (Daniel 4:33). God got Nebuchadnezzar’s attention! When he came to his senses, he “blessed the Most High” God. We learn a lot about God and ourselves in Nebuchadnezzar’s prayer.
