Conquerors

 

Romans 8:37 NIV

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

It's Friday! I love Fridays because it represents the end of my work week.  It is proof of how God saw me through and kept me. It is evidence that I conquered the obstacles of the week and overcame them through Christ Jesus.  

It's not that I did anything special other than trust Him and His word. There were days this week when I was just mentally and physically fatigued and I cried out to God to give me strength.  He heard every moan and groan.  He answered every prayer. He got me to my destination-Friday 😀

But as I write, I can't help but think of a greater destination- heaven.  Earth is not my home.  We are heaven bound. We just have to persevere and remember that we are more than conquerors.  His word says this..

Romans 8:36-39 NIV

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.

We have God on our side.  We have His love.  We have Him.  So nothing we face on this side will deter us from our heavenly destination to be with Him for all eternity.  We will be in a state where every day is a Friday- an atmosphere of rejoicing because we made it.  We just have to continue to press our way through and we can with God on our side.

Lord, I thank You for seeing me and my fellow brothers and sisters through.  Thank You for Your strength and determination to not tap out, but to endure and conquer.  We know it is only through Your strength and love that we have overcome.  We thank You for moments to celebrate. Let us keep a heavenly perspective on life's journey.  In Jesus name.  Amen
