Facing The Giants

There are many obstacles in overcoming the mundane. Daily doubt is knocking at your door. Daily the flesh wages war against the spirit enticing it with all it's evil passion and desire. It will be satisfied at no end. Take your relationships and the conflicts that arise and the difficulty of working through those. What about the fear that often paralyzes you? Or the depression that you often feel when you are all alone. Maybe it's people that you have to be around to find meaning and significance for your life. When you lay alone at night in your bed are you plagued with questions of Gods existence? Yet you are afraid to even think that? Have you felt a deafening silence that causes you to retreat?

You see if we are all honest then we probably can relate to some of these, if not all at different times in our lives.

To overcome against the odds is a feat set for the heroic right? Only for the few privileged ones correct? Wrong! Nothing is further from the truth.

The one who overcomes has learned that in the greatest moment of testing and trail, they refused to give up. Overcoming is more about not giving up than it is about being incredibly strong or confident. To the one who stands firm in Faith no matter what the odds, with God on his side, he or she will overcome victoriously.

Whatever obstacle you find yourself facing today start by acknowledging your dependency on the Creator and voice out loud that greater is Christ that is in you, than he that is in the world. I am speaking to the one who has been born of the spirit. To the one reading who has not yet been reborn spiritually then your only hope for overcoming lies in self help, which is a dead end road in the long run. Call out to God and ask 'what must I do to be saved'?
