We can get into a position of thinking that the world is caving in on us or that we are going through so much when in reality there are people who are in very bad and awkward situations that make ours look like kindergarten. Not saying of course that the problems we face are not real but if we understand that we are believers that are not alone for God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and the Precious Holy Spirit is with us, what problem or situation can overcome us? In I John 4:4 it says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcomethem: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” We are over comers because we have the greater one on the inside of us. I’ve often thought about “how in the world did I make it through life without God?” It comforts me to know that Jesus is my righteousness in spite of any difficulty life tries to deal out. You have to realize that God the Father loves you in spite of you failures and mistakes. With this awareness of how much Abba Father God loves you sense a peace that surpasses all understanding and it gets my mind off of myself and unto the attitude of gratefulness. Enjoy each moment and be appreciative of how good God is. Life will have its ups and downs but you are more than a conqueror for you are IN CHRIST Jesus. Start telling yourself when you blow it that “I AM the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD IN CHRIST.” It’s not based on anything you do but what Christ did for us on the cross. Each moment then will be filled with righteousness and His Grace will Shine upon your moments each day that goes by.
