MORE than Conquerers!

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, 

Romans 8:31 -39

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.

TGIF Family! - Looking Good vs Seeing Well

Pigeon Walk

 

Read: Daniel 6:1-10

 

He knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom. —Daniel 6:10

 

Have you ever wondered why a pigeon walks so funny? It's so it can see where it's going. A pigeon's eyes can't focus as it moves, so the bird actually has to bring its head to a complete stop between steps in order to refocus. It proceeds clumsily—head forward, stop, head back, stop.

 

In our spiritual walk with the Lord, we have the same problem as the pigeon: We have a hard time seeing while we're on the go. We need to stop between steps—to pause and refocus on the Word and the will of God. That's not to say we have to pray and meditate about every little decision in life. But certainly our walk with the Lord needs to have built into it a pattern of stops that enable us to see more clearly before moving on.

Daniel's practice of praying three times a day was an essential part of his walk with God (Daniel 6:10). He knew there's a certain kind of spiritual refocusing that we can't do without stopping. His stops gave him a very different kind of walk—one that was obvious to those around him.

 

What about us? At the risk of being thought of as different, as Daniel was, let's learn this valuable lesson from the pigeon: "Looking good" isn't nearly as important as "seeing well." —Mart De Haan

In Partnership With God

Read: Matthew 6:5-15

Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. —Matthew 6:8

A man had transformed an over grown plot of ground into a beautiful garden and was showing a friend what he had accomplished. Pointing to a bed of flowers, he said, "Look at what I did here." His companion corrected him, "You mean, 'Look at what God and I did here.'" The gardener replied, "I guess you're right. But you should have seen the shape this plot was in when He was taking care of it by Himself."

We chuckle at the man's reply, but it expresses a wonderful spiritual truth—we are co-workers with God. This applies to every area of life, including prayer. It answers a question that naturally comes to mind when we reflect on Jesus' statements in Matthew 6. He said we don't need to pray on and on with vain repetitions like the pagans, because our Father knows what we need before we ask (Matthew 6:7-8).

The question is, then, why pray? The answer is simple and comforting. God has graciously chosen to give us the privilege of being His partners in both the physical and spiritual areas of life. Through prayer we work with Him in defeating the powers of evil and in bringing about the fulfillment of His loving purposes in the world. Partners with God—what a privilege! What an incentive to pray! —Herb Vander Lugt

Although God knows our every need,
His work He wants to share;
He takes us into partnership
By calling us to prayer. —D. De Haan

God's work is done by those who pray.
