Meditation: “No trouble or distress you may meet in life, no darkness of the shadow of death, no hunger or nakedness, no pain or sorrow, no tribulation or anguish, not even death itself will be able to separate us from that wondrous love. No angels, no evil spirits, not even all the host of them with the devil as their chief, no principalities and powers, no mighty Caesars or wicked kings…no Hitlers or Mussolinis or Stalins, with all their sword power, are able to prevent that power of Christ’s love from reaching us with its saving arm. Nothing there is in time or space, nothing there is in the present, nothing can ever arise in the future, nothing there is in the heights of heaven and no power there is in the depth of hell that is strong enough to cut us off from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Was anything forgotten in this enumeration? Well, then, let this set your heart finally at rest: “Nor any other creature.” No created thing! Not the enemies, not the angels or principalities or powers, not tribulation or distress or hunger or peril or sword, not any creature in the present or in the future, in the heights or in the depths can have the victory. We triumph! Not they, but we conquer. Already we are conquerors. Nay, we are more than conquerors” (Herman Hoeksema).
