My Word for 2014...
"Overcome"
My Verse for 2014...
I John 5:4-5
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - Our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

I am not sure if my word is overcome or overcomer…but either feels right to me.
First…to overcome…covers so much in my life right now.
*Procrastinating
*Lack of control of my eating.
*Lack of being in the Word
*Apathy in my walk with the Lord
*Lack of control of my eating.
*Lack of being in the Word
*Apathy in my walk with the Lord
*Taking my salvation for granted
*Being inconsiderate
*Taking and not giving
*Grumbling and complaining
*Negativity
Thankfully I am not struggling with “all” of the list above “all” of the time but I want to keep the word "overcome" so much in my prayers, Bible studies, and in my thoughts, that I can know by faith that I am able to be victorious and overcome whatever I need to in this coming year!!!
I am going to share something about how Jesus is such a testimony of being
an overcomer...how He definitely has been our teacher in overcoming...
The following is from an older devotional that I love...
Jesus made the most amazing comeback the world has ever seen. After being humiliated, insulted, spit upon, whipped, beaten, and nailed to a cross, His executioners claimed victory and declared Him dead. A military guard secured His tomb. How could anyone be more down and out than that?
Yet the struggle was not over; it was only the beginning. Three days later, He rose from the grave and reappeared as the victor over sin, death, and hell—a comeback like no other in all of history.
Are you feeling out of the running today? Have you stumbled badly? Think about Jesus’ suffering. Ponder His resurrection. Ask Him to give you the victory. Just imagine what He has to offer you, no matter how far down you are now!
No one has overcome like our Lord.

The great example is our Lord
Of overcoming power;
The strength that brought Him from the grave
Gives hope in life’s dark hour. —Branon
