Word for Today..............More Than Conquerors!!
Scripture: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
More than Conquerors!!!
When I think about conquerors my mind begins to wander back to Medieval Times when there were gladiators. The gladiators would take over complete nations and/or kingdoms. So, was this what Paul was referring to? Could be. Paul asked the Romans a question in the previous verses, which was "Who would separate us from the love of God." Furthermore, when he started to list the "Who's" it wasn't a list of who's at all. I would have expected to have a list of people who were against these people: like Brother Bobby is talking against you, or Sis. Mary is trying to pull you out. However, it was a list of what we would call the things of our Christian lives, but Paul says, "Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But what God has reveal to me is that many times the "Who's" of our life will produce those things in order to hinder God's plan for us. But Paul says who will you let use those things against you and cause you to be removed from the presence and will of God. MY ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS NO ONE!
I am so glad that Paul doesn't leave us with all that, but he reveals to us that we not only can fight back. We are MORE than conquerors through Jesus Christ and we win. The love of Christ reaches and pulls us through our tribulations, our distresses, our persecutions and all the other things that we think we won't make it out of. When we are feeling like no one cares or that we are in this alone, the love of God embraces us and tells us that we can conqueror the "Who's". We are not only the gladiators/conquerors in God's kingdom; we are MORE than that because HE is more than that. He told us that we would have to suffer as Christ suffered, but we would not be alone. He has sent his love to pull us through, but only if you can stand the pull.
Be Blessed!
