You are more than a conqueror through My love in Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:37 New International Version (NIV)

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

Just before today's promise in verse 35, the Apostle Paul talks about some of the hardships that can come against the beloved of the Lord... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (WEB) He responds to this question by making the declaration that is the inspiration for today's promise!

Even in the midst of all these things, we are more than conquerors through the love that God has poured out into our hearts through Jesus Christ. We are not just conquerors, we are MORE than conquerors because of His amazing love! No matter what challenges you are facing today, God's love will conquer every trial and tribulation. There is nothing in all eternity that is able to separate you from His amazing, unconditional, everlasting love.

My prayer today is that we would all be overwhelmed with a tangible sense of His closeness and the reality of this promise.  May we join in the words that Paul the Apostle wrote two thousand years ago and say together... 'We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us!'
