The Thought For The Day: Overcomer
Friday, September 18, 2009
Inspiration: “God does not give us overcoming life: He gives us life as we overcome. The strain is the strength. If there is no strain, there is no strength. Are you asking God to give you life and liberty and joy? He cannot, unless you will accept the strain. Immediately you face the strain, you will get the strength. Overcome your own timidity and take the step, and God will give you to eat of the tree of life and you will get nourishment. If you spend yourself out physically, you become exhausted; but spend yourself spiritually, and you get more strength. God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute. The temptation is to face difficulties from a common-sense standpoint. The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.” Oswald Chambers
Be: (positive confession) I Am an Overcomer.
Do: (first steps) Today, stop viewing the struggles you face as something meant to destroy you. Instead take a positive approach to those things which cause you frustration and discomfort and focus more on finding the uncommon solution. Get out of the box of the physical first process and seek the spiritual perspective at the beginning by asking the questions “What can God teach me through this?” and “How do I glorify God in response to this challenge?”
Have: (making dreams reality) As I change my thinking and approach to the obstacles in my path I will no longer compound problems by treating the symptoms; instead I will confound my enemies and find creative answers to the real causes of adversity .
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
