Romans 8:37 “no, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him (Jesus) who loved us.”
This week I sat with a young man who is wanting to make decisions about his future and wanting to know Gods will. I asked him this question. “What one thing would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
Paul talks about knowing Jesus and living for him. He is real about the fact that we do fail and that we face hardship and opposition at times. However, he has this incredible perspective in this chapter that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ. In fact he says that through Jesus we end up as victors, more than conquerors.
Take a look at your life right now and look through the eyes of a victor. You are more than a conqueror! What hardship, trial, difficulty do you face? Look at it through the eyes of a winner, you will overcome because he has overcome.
Look at these lyrics from take heart a song from the new Hillsong United Album…
Take Heart lyrics
[Verse 1:]
There is a light
It burns brighter than the sun
He steals the night
And casts no shadow
There is hope
Should oceans rise and mountains fall
He never fails
[Chorus:]
So take heart
Let His love lead us through the night
Hold on to hope
And take courage again
[Verse 1:]
In death by love
The fallen world was overcome
He wears the scars of our freedom
In His Name
All our fears are swept away
He never fails
[Bridge:]
All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome
All our failure
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome
All our heartache
And all our pain
God our healer
He has overcome
All our burdens
And all our shame
God our freedom
He has overcome
All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome
All our failures
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome
God our justice
God our grace
God our freedom
He has overcome
God our refuge
God our strength
God is with us
He has overcome
HE HAS OVERCOME WHICH MEANS YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!
Love ya
