Day 3 : More than Conquerors

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 35-39 (ESV)

SCRIPTURE: "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

OBSERVATION: What does it look like to be "more than [a] conqueror"?

I'm not sure.

But I do know that through whatever pain, sadness, worry or fear that we may face, if we focus on God and His amazing love (that we cannot be separated from) than we will conquer whatever it is we are facing. He will bring us through it. We just need to focus on Him and not the problem.

ACTION: How well have I turned to God in the past? Maybe if should turn to others, people I believe to be wiser, and ask them how they got through their rough times. And how God helped them - or how they responded to God in their trouble.

PRAYER:

Dear God,

I am sorry that I have not turned to you when I felt like the world was caving in on me in the past. I pray that you may become the rock that I cling too in all moments of my life: celebration and sadness. Help me to remember that because of your incredible love, I am "more than a conqueror" and even more so, You are my King!

Amen.
