While we all feel the recession has already lasted too long. They say we might have another two years of what we are going through and perhaps more. And you ask yourself how will we ever get through this?
But as I was looking at scripture the other day I came across the phrase over comer. Of course from a scriptural viewpoint this is speaking of being an over comer through believing in Christ. But I am thinking about this word in the sense of overcoming in our daily lives and just what is an over comer?
The more I thought about it I realized this is a great phrase. It could mean many things one of which is overcoming anything that is hindering us from succeeding. How can we overcome this frustrating job market? How can we overcome problems in our lives, in our marriages, with our children, with our businesses. All seems so overwhelming at this time. But like anything else if we let our thinking control us we can be overcome even by our own thinking.
I think we need to become an over comer inside of ourselves. To think of ourselves as over comers as though we have already done the things we need to do to be successful. Brian Tracy in his self-discipline CD talks of visually in our mind seeing ourselves where we would like to be and then work towards that goal. Are you an over comer? Can you in your mind decide to be an over comer? I have decided to be an over comer. We will overcome this recession. My Dad told me one time when we were going through a hard time that this would be a time in my life when I would be my most creative and I would strive to do things I never thought I could do. Dad is gone now but I know he is still rooting for me and he never let me give up. Marna
