"If God is for us who can be against us"

Romans 8:31 "What shall we then say to these things, if God is for us, who can be against us? Faith is like a muscle; opposition may strain it, but in the end it grows stronger. The Psalmist David understood this principle. He was continually hounded by his enemies. Even when he was being anointed to sit on the throne, Saul the old king was still occupying it. But instead of losing faith in God's promise, David understood that, "The Lord has set apart him that is godly for Himself" (Psalm 4:3). So he declared, " I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep :for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safetety" (Psalm 4:. When the Philistines captured him he prayed, "When I am afraid, I will… trust in thee" (Psalm 56:3). And when he ended up in a cave while fleeing from Saul's jealous rage he said, "......in the sahdow of thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities be overpast. (Psalm 57:1).
During the third century, when St. Felix of Nola was running from his enemies, he took refuge in a cave. Eventually a spider began to weave a web across the small opening, sealing it off and making it look like nobody had been inside for months. As a result his pursuers passed by and didn't bother looking there. Later, stepping out into the sunshine, Felix declared, "Where God is, a spider's web is a wall. And where He isn't, a wall is but a spider's web."
Jesus said you'd have problems on earth; people will disappoint you, and you'll disappoint yourself. Sometimes you'll end up in a cave because of something you did, other times because of circumstances you'd no control over. But God is with you either way. And like Paul said, "What shall we then say to,if God be for us who can be against us?"

Oh yes the will try and the word of God says we are the aple of God's eye, so whoever touches you is provoking our father. Also no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper.
