The Trust That Overcomes

In Genesis 50:20, we read Joseph’s final words to his brothers. They are a capsule of his life’s view: “As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” This amazing perspective reflected a life that had embraced the living God and trusted Him completely.

As you face the pains and heartaches and mistreatment of life, it is only by complete confidence in the goodness and plan of God that you can overcome. The things that could destroy you can become building blocks on the journey of faith as you look for the hand of God in all the circumstances of life. “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4).

If you have never confessed your sin and trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, life can be a jumbled ball of confusion. But the One who died for your sins and gave Himself for your failures can bring rightness with God, forgiveness of sin, and a new sense of wholeness and purpose into your weary soul. Christ came into the world because of His love for you, and that love can bring and end to the emptiness or bitterness or sinfulness that wracks your life.

Accept by faith the gift of eternal life and personal forgiveness He offers, for the only way to really overcome forever is to accept the victory of Calvary that He accomplished for you (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Now that is real victory—and real overcoming.
