Closer Than You Think

By Linda Tancs

The etching in a passenger side-view mirror reads something like “objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” The reason objects are closer than they appear is because the mirror is slightly curved. The driver-side mirror, on the other hand, is not shaped the same way. Look at these mirrors through the eyes of faith. The driver is God; we are passengers. He knows where the breakthrough is; His mirror doesn’t need a warning. Maybe you think your victory in life, whatever it may be, is far away. But, just like that passenger mirror, it is likely closer than you think (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Remember Yourself Forward

By Linda Tancs

A charismatic preacher exhorted his audience to “remember yourself forward.” That’s a great way of reminding folks that they’re overcomers: you overcame before, and you’ll overcome again. Jesus is the ultimate overcomer (John 16:33). There is no struggle, adversity or hardship that you can’t overcome because you’re more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). You’ve had the victory before, and you’ll have it again (1 Corinthians 15:57). Just remember yourself forward.
