More Than Conquerors

Dear Readers,

I was reading this morning's devotional in the Daily Bread and the latter part of the devotional really hit home and thought I would share it with you. Dennis Fisher is the author and he said:

"..... the loss of health, relationships, or finances can make us feel as if our life has been destroyed. But for the believer, nothing could be further from the truth. Through our spiritual union with Christ, we have the promise that we'll share in His own indestructible life (John 14:19)".

Those of you who know me know the struggles I've gone through with my health and finances especially since August 13th, 2008. There ARE times when I feel exactly as he describes, that my life has been destroyed. I also realize that as a believer, God is in control and has been very faithful to provide in various ways during this past year. He has given me "tangible" proof of His love and care for me. It seems whenever I begin to feel as though all is lost, God reminds me in subtle ways that all is NOT lost and that my future is in HIS hands. Therefore, I continue to plow ahead through life and trust Him to provide all of the necessary resources to experience the ultimate victory.

How about YOU? Are you facing hardships due to declining health, loss of relationships, reduction in finances, layoffs, unemployment, or any other calamity in your life? It is always good to remember that as believers, we have one much greater than we are who is capable and willing to get us through our trials and difficulties. Put your complete trust in Him.

Struggles and hardships will continue but our anxiety and worrying does not. God is forever faithful, that I know.
