The overcomer victory

          What shall we then say to these things?
          If God be for us, who can be against us?
                          Roman 8:31


     Did you ever remember  try to  reroute  a  stream by
Building a dam across the water with rocks and stones
when you were a child? Did you ever build a mud dam
to  collect  the flowing water and make a pool in which
to sail your toy boat?  Our  childlike  efforts  were never
Completely    successful.   Were.  They?  The   Stones
Eventually gave way to the rush of water and the mud
Dam finally washed downstream.

    For  5,000 years  dams  have  been  used  to control
Water---- to bprevent  floods, divert brivers,  store water
and irrigate land. But even todays mordern dams do not
Complete stop the flow of water back  into the streams
Or prevent its eventual return to the oceans.

   Every day we meet the challenge that can potentially 
divert  us and  even temporarily  defeat God's purpose
For our life. Our life may  have been derailed by failures,
Bad.  Decision,  or. mistakes,  but  if   we   give   those
Circumstances to the Lord, they will  never  defeat  His
Plan for us. In fact, we are usually  in  awe  as He takes
those circumstances and uses them to accomplish His
good and eternal purpose. (Romans 8:28.)

   God's   plan  can  never  be defeated---- and that   Is
Good  news  for  you  today.  God  is  in control,  which
Means   Nothing  Can   Happen  Which will defeat Him,
Even the willful disobedience of one person or a group
of people.

  If  that  is  true  for  the  Soverreign  of  the Universe, it 
Is  also  true  for  us---- if  our  purpose  are aligned with
His.  Even  though  God's  will  in  our life be temporarily
diverted  by our sin  or mistakes,  by  circumstances, or
Even  by  the  harm someone else inflicts on us, we can
Never  be   ultimately   Defeated   as  long   as  we   are 
Cooperating with Him.
