I have always been inspired by people who faced great challenges and setbacks
in their lives, who fought hard and achieved amazing comebacks. There is a long
list of people who have done this, both real and fiction, secular, as well as
biblical, and from centuries in the past, as well as recent heroes.
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" - Romans 8:31
I have news for you. These comebacks are not just for people you
read about in the history books or the latest edition of Newsweek. This very
day, God is in the business of turning your setbacks into comebacks! Note what
Paul wrote to the Christians being persecuted: "… we are being put to
death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. But in all
these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us." Realize
that God doesn’t say, "Well, I’ll arrange it where you can just squeak
by!" Neither does He say, "I’ll arrange it where you can just barely
endure."
No!He doesn't say any of that. What He DOES say is: “In ALL these things, we
overwhelmingly conquer!” We don’t just conquer, we overwhelmingly
conquer, through the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And it is this
amazing power – the power of the Creator of the universe – that will help you
pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and turn your setback into an
overwhelming victory. May that victory be triumphed for the glory of God!
