OVERCOMERS!

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.” 1 John 5:4

One of the best commentaries on this verse came from Chuck Swindoll. “Does it mean, then, that we won’t have sorrow? No.

It means we’ll be able to overcome it…live in His victory in spite of it.

How? By faith, just as He promised. By staking my hope on the absolute assurance that He is aware of my situation. He is in charge of it….and He will give all the grace I need to sail through it, rough seas and all, one stormy day at a time.

Sorrow and her grim family of sighs may drop by for a visit, but they won’t stay long when they realize faith got there first…..and doesn’t plan to leave.”
