Reading: Romans 8:37

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

Have your circumstance ever so overwhelmed that you became a passive bystander frozen in exhaustion?

Or struggled over and over and see no release and finally give up trying? Both in heart and in action.

Hear His promise. More than conquerors. More is possible. Even when we can’t even see a victory.

Or even in seeming defeat. Our lukewarm hearts keep us focused on the loss or impossibilities instead of on His steadfast love.

Hope in His purpose—His vision—His sometimes invisible plan—is the strong foundation we are promised to be able to become “more than.” Not to surrender to our weaknesses but to acknowledge them and deliberately choose to rely on Jesus’ power. He will carry us through when we trust. Even in a surface defeat. His salvation over rides all battles.

Lord, please guide us from being a victim or passive bystander, to conquer in Your love and Your Spirit’s power.

Psalm of Worship: Proverbs 8:36

“But those who miss me injure themselves; all who hate me love death.”
