5.30.18 – “One of the great principles found in
God’s word is to “overcome evil with good.” How we respond when we are tried
and tested is a measure of our maturity in the Lord. Evil is a fact of life and
we will face it in all its forms in our lifetime. Jesus is our pattern for
dealing with the evil that men would do to us. When He was reviled he “reviled
not again,” and when He was abused He did not retaliate. He was willing to
“take” it knowing that there was something better ahead, namely, the salvation
of the world. God give us to the grace to be “overcomers!” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is that the power
of Christ would rest upon you.

John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have
overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world. KJV
To Be 8 Again!
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed,
watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he
asked what she'd like to have for her birthday. 'I'd like to be eight again', she replied, still
looking in the mirror. On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her
a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park.
What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of
Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later they
staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt
upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal
with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a
soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally
she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and
lovingly asked, 'Well dear, what was it like being eight again? Her eyes slowly
opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size!!!!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man
is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
