Romans 8:37 “Nay, in all these things,
we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."
Nothing is more powerful than the love of God. This was exhibited on the cross of Christ at Calvary. We do not deserve such love, but He freely gives it despite humanity being weak and fickle. He knocks on the door of every soul and invites us all to accept the gift of grace that was freely given.
Nothing is too big for God, and
nothing we will ever go through is too much for Him. With His strength and
mercy we are more than conquerors. The deeper our faith is in His majesty,
grace, and abiding love, the better we can overcome any trial this life can
produce. I know this truth, because I have lived it. When I was not walking as
closely with the Lord as I am now, the smallest obstacle could overtake me. Now
I put my full faith and hope in God, and no longer concentrate on the temporal,
but on the eternal.
In James 1: 2 – 4, we are
encouraged to rejoice in trials. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and
sisters, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the
testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work
so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” This is
certainly not an easy thing to do, but the deeper your faith is, the more peace
comes, as well as the joy of being aware that God is with you. Knowing God is
in control, and releasing all to Him, is how we survive and conquer.
Chambers says, "Undaunted
radiance is not built on anything passing, but on the love of God that nothing
can alter. The experiences of life, terrible or monotonous, are impotent to
touch the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
