“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”
Romans 8:18
If you’re depressed and defeated, the roof just collapsed, your laptop is crawling with “bugs” and it can’t be fixed, you win.
If your Christian life is either good or bad depending on how you look at it, and the pastor has asked you to head up a new children’s ministry in church, you win.
Perhaps you’ve been ill for a long, long time. You’ve forgotten what it is to be normal, you win.
If your boss goes back on his word and you feel used and you feel like a vacation is long overdue, you win.
If your spouse is distant and your children ignore you and the dog just pooped on the carpet, that’s all right, you win.
If everything is finally coming together and your dreams are beginning to be realized, you win.
”…in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
Romans 9:37
We engage every situation, every trial with the innate knowledge that we win. This defies conventional wisdom. Especially if you feel a bit besieged by life’s strange twists. But if the truth be told, we’ve already won through Christ.
In the bitter face of circumstances (often beyond our control) we can, by faith begin to discover that we’ve already won. (We become “teflon” –nothing sticks to us).
All you may have is wounds and a shredded faith. But if the Lord Christ is at the center of your life, you win. We carry a real hope that He can lead us through everything in His triumph. We can manage every circumstance when Jesus is fully in control.
No matter what happens, no matter what bizarre turn of events you face, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
