Whosoever rises up against us faces poor odds because we’ve already won through Christ’s work on the cross. Whatever stands in our way will have to cede because you and I are more than conquerors.

Mercy
When we fully realize how much mercy God has extended towards us – mercy that we never deserved yet He freely gave – how can we not extend mercy to others? Forgiveness is not natural – it is only within the scope of God’s forgiveness and mercy that we are able to forgive at all and extend mercy towards others.
Help My Unbelief
That element of doubt trips us up time and again – If you can. Even though we know in our minds that He can, that He is more powerful than any problem we face, that little nagging voice continues to whisper in our ear, “Ah, but will He?”

Though He gave the people of Nazareth chance after chance, they remained skeptical. They would not accept Jesus’ power and authority because of their preconceived beliefs.
