“we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Rom8.37 ESV
Christians often confess that they feel the exact opposite of many things said about them in the Scriptures. We are called saints but we feel sinful. We are said to be more than conquerors but we often feel defeated. This disparity of fact and feeling probably exists because we are told to believe something about ourselves when our experience is telling us other wise. This may have something to do with our limited perspective. We are somewhere in the middle of the book so to speak, but God has already finished writing it. I have many times gotten so caught up in a particular scene in a movie or book, you know where things look pretty bad for the main character, that I experience some anxiety about whether they will survive or not. I often laugh at my self when reality reminds me that the end of the story is already written and that the main character not only survives but also lives happily ever after. And so it is with us. We are this moment somewhere in the middle of the story as those trapped in time and God knows its end for He is the Author and outside of time. This story is already written and He is kind enough to give those of us who are still in the middle of it a peek at the last line. "And they will reign forever and ever.” 8/28/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
