Devotional Thoughts Romans 8:37 states that we are more than conquerors through Christ, so I raise the question, ‘‘What is it to he more than a con- queror r The writer of Proverbs 16:32 has said “he that rules himself is greater than he that conquers a city.” This shows some of the an cient insight and wisdom charact eristic of the writers of the Old Testament. A man in the army dur ing World War II was known to have said that he wished his wife would quit nagging him so he could fight this war in peace. The thing that troubled him most was not the danger of war, but the in ward conflict brought to bear in his life by the maladjustment be tween him and his wife. A recent news item told of a 19 )ear old girl who died of cancer, but the arresting part of the story was the high spirits and the cour age with which she fought the losing battle for her life. The story did not state that she was a Chris tian, but one is compelled to be lieve that she was. How else could she have faced death in high spirits? Does not the Scripture say in tribulations and troubles we are still more than conquerors through Christ that strengthens us? It is obvious that this girl was “more than a conqueror.” Prayer: Heavenly Father, give us the faith that breeds the kind of courage which will prepare us for any of the eventualities of life. With this faith we can face troubles, sickness and even death in the knowledge that we are “more than conquerors through Christ.” - Amen Rev.
