The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39King James Version

Plain English

'I am persuaded' means I am convinced. Death, life, angels, principalities, powers, present things, future things, height, depth, and any other creature cannot separate us from God's love. Principalities means ruling powers, and creature means any created thing, and that love is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Devotional

A good rope in a storm still holds when the wind argues with it. God's love in Christ Jesus holds harder than that. Death cannot cut it, trouble today cannot cut it, and nothing in all creation can separate you from that love.
