Romans 8:16-17 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are his children then we are his heirs--heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
"Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ." Imagine all the power, peace, love and wisdom of an infinite God, the Creator of the Universe. I am not sure our finite minds can truly comprehend the fullness of God, but we are capable of realizing the awesomeness of Him and his resources. Now, take a few minutes and realize, really grasp, the fact that, as Christians, we have 24/7 access to all those resources.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing in the human condition that God cannot and will not equip the believer to handle in a way that will please Him. Even more than just helping us "handle" life's challenges, we can be "conquerors" in all things. (Romans 8:37)
God is about more than just getting by. He is about VICTORY. Average is not part of God's lexicon for His children. We are God's children. We have unlimited access to all He has.
Take a minute to thank Jesus Christ for his death, suffering and resurrection that allowed us to become joint heirs with him, which in turn gives us access to all God has and is.
