Trials and Tribulations of Life: Well Conquered

"If it isn't one thing -it is another."...

...the old saying goes.

There is always something which makes our days in this life difficult.

Our world is fallen. It happened when the first man and woman were in paradise - they chose poorly. (this is when they chose not to listen to God's words, but followed after satan's tricks)

From then on: weeds, weeds, weeds...

Not only the green things, but wickedness, evil, broken relationships, stealing, abuse....and it goes on and on.

If you aren't injured in some way by another person, you know people who are hurt and wounded.

Life is really, terribly rough and tough, but we who choose Jesus as our Savior have a power beyond this world. We can still be hurt, injured, marred, tricked, robbed, etc. 

...but when we cry out for help, physical, spiritual, or mental we can KNOW that He is with us giving us help in the way which is best for us.

Romans 8:14-25, 31-39

..."For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, 

these are sons of God.

For you have not received a spirit of slavery 

leading to fear again, but you have received a 

spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 

“Abba! Father!”

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that 

we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, 

heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, 

if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may 

also be glorified with Him.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present 

time are not worthy to be compared with the 

glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the anxious longing of the creation waits 

eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility, 

not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, 

in hope that the creation itself also will be set free 

from its slavery to corruption into the freedom 

of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groans 

and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

And not only this, but also we ourselves, 

having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we 

ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly 

for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is 

seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he 

already sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, with 

perseverance we wait eagerly for it."...

..."What then shall we say to these things? 

If God is for us, who is against us?

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered 

Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him 

freely give us all things?

Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? 

God is the one who justifies; who is the one who 

condemns? 

Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was 

raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also 

intercedes for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? 

Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or 

famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Just as it is written,

“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;


We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer 

through Him who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death, 

nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, 

nor things present, nor things to come, 

nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor 

any other created thing, will be able to 

separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
