Growing up in Northeastern Wisconsin we usually had plenty of snow during the winter. On the weekends the neighborhood kids would get together and find the biggest snow pile we could. The first one to make it to the top of the pile would become King of the Hill. The objective was to dethrone the existing king as quickly as possible and crown yourself as king. If the king was too big for one person to dethrone, we would join forces to knock the person off the pile. It was all good fun and I never recall anyone ever getting mad or fighting. Eventually we all got worn out, our parents were happy about that, and then went sledding or made forts in the snow and had snowball fights.
The Bible tells us that once we are saved, we are more than conquerors. I picture it this way. There are a lot of things in life that want to knock us off the top of the snow pile. Tribulations, pain, doubt, fear, discouragement, loneliness, worry, and guilt are but some. Friends, claim the following promise as yours.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39 NIV
