ROMANS 8:37

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

TO PONDER

When you think of world conquerors from history such as Attila the Hun, Adolph Hitler, Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I suspect it might not be very positive.  

You might be thinking that these people amassed large tracts of land and built empires, usually by war with large armies and mass violence. You may be thinking that these people have made such an impact, their influence remains to this day. 

We are conquerors, in fact more than conquerors, which means we can have an influence, or an impact on those around us. We are allowed to. In fact, we are called to! Because of the conquering work of God through Jesus, we can transform future history and the world around us, by our actions and reactions and words and lives. In Christ, We can transform history and affect the future, and make sure His influence remains to this day!  

PRAYER: Ruler of all, thank you for loving us into your kingdom. Thank you for winning the war against the evil one and letting us continue those winning ways. Amen
