Me:  Prodigal, that bee looks ready to fight!

 

Prodigal:  Well he is a killer bee!

 

Me:  Well let me give you some encouragement on conquering all that God has for you.

 

Today this comes for the book Believing God by Beth Moore

 

The children of Israel showed they were God’s conquerors on earth by conquering.  Victory always assumes a counterpart defeat.  We will never take our places as “more than overcomers” with nothing to overcome.  We will never be victors without opponents.  As we will continue to see in our journey, God gave the Israelite’s the Promised Land but told them they’d have to take what was theirs in fierce battle.  Why?  Probably one reason was so they’d develop the strength to keep it once they conquered it.  Surely another was to let them experience the thrill of victory that only a battle hard fought can bring.  In God’s economy, much of what is worth having is proved worth fighting for.

 

You are worth fighting for and that is why God is doing all this.  He is doing it for you and God will not lose.

 

Psalm 115:3

Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

 

Jennifer Van Allen
