Overcomers

1 John 5:4
The Lord tells us that we will overcome the world if we are His child. He says that we do that by our faith. Think about that word: overcome. There are lots of things opposing us. The Christian life is not easy. John Eldredge tells us in his book, Wild At Heart, that we are all in a spiritual battle. We are fighting a fight of faith. We are destined to overcome the opposition. If you are sitting around and waiting on God to make everything happen for you, you may be waiting a long time. He wants us to overcome. Overcome our circumstances. Overcome emotional problems. Overcome addictions. Overcome relationship flaws. Overcome anger. Overcome depression. Overcome sickness. Overcome laziness. Overcome financially. Overcome spiritually. Overcome mentally. Overcome in every way! Be an overcomer by faith. Get after it!
