DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. When Hercules wrestled with Antaeus, he found that every time he threw him to the ground, Antaeus would arise much stronger than before. Hercules finally discovered that his enemy was born from the earth and every time he would fall, he would actually be falling into his mother’s embrace and arose with renewed strength. So, Hercules changed his tactics by hoisting his enemy high in the air and away from the source of his strength.
Children of God are not children of earth and whenever troubles cast us back upon the Father, we rise with renewed strength. However, we can allow trivial things in our lives to hoist and pull us away from God. This world will do all it can to drag us away without giving us an opportunity to be renewed. But you and I have a power that is stronger than all enemies, faith in Jesus Christ.
All of our troubles can become a source of good fortune. God can take the most horrific event in our lives and make it become the best thing that could possibly come to us. By His mercy, we can grow in power and strength. God bless.
