More Than Conquerors - Devotional Day 16 - October 6

Scripture: Romans 8:37 - In all these things we are more than conquerors through im who loved us.
"Every day we face challenges of varying degree, but even seemingly small challenges can have larger implications later. We must determine from the outset, like at the beginning of the day, that we are going to adopt a victorious outlook." How do you start your day? How do you handle the everyday challenges? Do they make you blow up or do you handle them with grace and gratitude?

"If we know already how the story ends, that we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loves us, then we can begin with gratitude, no matter where we find ourselves from moment to moment." Think about that a minute. As a Christian believer, we know that the "end" is won by God and that we believers will be triumphant with Christ Jesus. We know the end of the story...where's the suspense?! Where's the mystery?! Where's the worry?! We shouldn't have any suspense that we don't create, the only mystery should be Christ's return, and we shouldn't be worrying about anything. We know we win!!!

What an amazing story to look forward to each and every day! "Just as in order to be successful you have to visualize your success; in order to be faithful you have to visualize God triumphing over your challenges....open ourselves up to the power and possibility of God."

Just remember...We win through Christ Jesus!
