You Are More…

/ James Penner / 1 Comment

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him (Jesus) who loved us.” Romans 8:37

Fear of failure seems to be baked into the human condition. Such fear many times stops us in our tracks before we even get started. And yet Paul, the author of the book of Romans, lays out an intriguing thought to demonstrate that no matter the odds, no matter how hard we get hit in life, anything is possible because we are

More Than Conquerors!

Paul says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all those these things we are more than conquerors for nothing can separate us from God’s love”. That also means nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from God’s promises, of which we have described dozens in these posts over the past few years. Take heart and keep moving forward.

Believe

“I would have fainted, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13

Every morning that you wake up you have the opportunity to believe the best about the day in front of you. You can believe for the best in your life, because of

God’s Faithfulness.

Psalm 27:13 says we can “believe that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living”. “The land of the living” today is you and I. It’s our choice to believe that in this many times maddening world God’s goodness will shine through. Such hope is not just for hope sake, but is actually grounded in and throughout God’s word. Today begins a new year. One small positive thought today can change your future.
