Daily Devotional: You Have Already Overcome!

by Tonja Taylor  

 

 

Some days, it may seem hard to even get out of bed. Hopelessness, fear, doubt, discouragement, self-pity and more may attack your mind and emotions. But by the grace of God, you can overcome these and rise up to the best life ever (John 10:10)!  Jesus, God's loving Son, will help you overcome!

…For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world:  our faith. Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.…I John 5:3-5, Berean Study Bible

Even if you've never run track, you are a champion hurdler! That's right, if you've trusted Jesus as your Savior and LORD, you have already overcome!

You may have faced unimaginable trials and challenges, and you may have almost lost hope. But if you're reading this, you do have hope! And you have much more: You have a certain good future from the LORD (Jeremiah 29:11)! He loves you and if working all things together for your best and His glory!

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress  and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]--John 16:33, AMPC

God is good and all good. In spite of what you may hear, He does NOT cause bad things to happen to His kids, just so He can work good out of it. No, God is Light. He is pure. He is holy. There is no darkness--no evil--in Him!

If you have received Christ as your Savior, then God is your loving Father, and He only wants the best for you! He is against what would hurt you, in any and every arena. He is constantly working on your behalf and in every part of your life

You are already in the Kingdom of God, which is eternal. Hallelujah! While the kingdoms of this world and the enemy are passing away, the Kingdom of God will never pass away, for the Kingdom of God is within you

20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” 22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.…Luke 17:20-22, Berean Study Bible
Whatever the challenge, the God Who loves you; the God Who made Heaven and earth and all living things wants to help you have the best life possible--to overcome the negatives and embrace the positives. He is the best Father, so cry out to Him today to help you overcome, know Him better, and follow Him.
He will answer, and you'll be sublimely glad you did!
