No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37
I'll admit it -
this morning woke up with an uneasy feeling (and it wasn't indigestion!)
I am not exactly a political person, but the thought of waking up to a
world with President Romney at the helm did not sit well with me. My mom
thought he had a "genalish" look to him, and despite an ugly
campaign fought by both sides, I somehow preferred to move forward with
"more of the same" than change. I breathed a prayer during my
devotionals "Lord, thy will be done" and then slowly, methodically
opened up the internet. It was with great relief that I discovered
that Obama had been re-elected. Again, I am not overly political,
but it just felt like the lesser of two evils at this particular moment in
world history...
Aren't you glad
that our Christian walk does not have to be filled with such uncertainty
and anxiety? Aren't you grateful that we don't have to run ugly campaigns
in order to win this race? Isn't it amazing that my winning the
Christian race is not dependent on your losing?
Family let's
continue to run this Christian race with confidence knowing that through
Christ we are MORE than Conquerers and that together we can and will cross the
finish line. Although we may face some overwhelming challenges,
overwhelming victory is ours, not for a moment, not for a term, but for
eternity!
Walk today with a
Conquering Spirit knowing that the outcome is sure - WE WIN!!!
Shalom,
If God is for us, who can be against us? He
who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also,
along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge
against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that
condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at
the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine
or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we
are considered as sheep to be slaughtered”
No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
