White Knuckle Faith

White Knuckle Faith

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:4 KJV

Look at our Scripture again and this time, replace world in both instances with whatever your faith needs to overcome — right now.  Is it illness, infirmity, depression, loneliness, grief, financial issues…?

Now look at your faith in the midst of these overwhelming circumstances.  Has it become white-knuckle faith?  Do your arms ache with the effort of hanging on to the promises of God?  Have you ever been ready to just give in and let go?

Experience has taught most of us that the key to living the victorious life is not in being free of problems, but in overcoming them by faith.  There can be no victory where there is no battle, often not necessarily a strategically brilliant battle!  If this sounds familiar, be encouraged, your victory is already assured; take hold of it by faith and don’t let go.
