Overcomers are not those who are necessarily famous, fabulous, wealthy, or even well known. They are those who have been through storms and continue to serve God anyway. Stayed faithful through the extremes of life, refused to quit when others gave up. Overcomers are those who stand when they would rather turn around and run. These rugged people are scarred by life, having been through many broken 'emotional bones.' Time.... experiences..... and age has taught them many lessons about overcoming all things.
These are not those who glibly run along proclaiming blessing.... for life has times that will crumble the strongest souls if not deeply clasped to Christ. Overcomers are strong.... not because they are.... but because they have learned to lean into the Lord. These are those who have hidden themselves in Christ in the worst of times and can still carry on when the crisis is over.
It's not just jumping back up after a fall..... sometimes it's crawling to the Saviors Arms and staying there till the breath comes back.
'When I am weak then am I strong' - takes on a whole new light doesn't it? The devil hates this kind of Christian.... Overcomers like Job, David and Daniel. People like you.... who just refused to quit. Be an overcomer today..
