What a blessing it is to know that we have all that we need for anything that we face. Let us look at this verse and as you read it emphasize the first two words, “I can.” Many times when we are faced with adversity or we are feeling weak, the first words that we may be tempted to entertain in our minds are “I can’t do this.” Today I want to encourage you to seek daily to find your strength in God.
“The thief comes only in order to steal and killand destroy. I came that they may have and enjoylife, and have it in abundance
(to the full, till it overflows).”
In this life we have an enemy, and it is the devil. He seeks to rob and destroy from us. He will try to convince us that we cannot stand strong in the midst of a storm. He will try to kill our dreams, weaken our faith, and more than anything try to convince us that “we can’t” be an overcomer. He seems to sometimes have the mysterious ability to make the smallest of things look bigger than what they really are, yet we serve the one that can bring all problems down to size if only we keep our eyes on Him. Praise God that we can stand as overcomers for Jesus made it possible that in Him we can overcome!
