More Than Conquerors
Dr. David Hampton on July 27, 2025
Here's a 5-day morning Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the themes from the sermon:
Day 1: More Than Conquerors
Romans 8:31-39
Devotional: Paul's powerful declaration that we are "more than conquerors" through Christ is a cornerstone of our faith. Today, reflect on what it means to be a conqueror in Christ. Consider the challenges you're facing - whether it's persecution, hardship, or personal struggles. Remember that God's love is so vast and powerful that nothing can separate us from it. How does this truth change your perspective on your current circumstances? Take time to thank God for His unwavering love and the victory He has already secured for you in Christ.
Day 2: God's Presence in Our Trials
Psalm 23
Devotional: Just as GPS guides us regardless of wrong turns, God's presence remains constant in our lives, even when we stray. David's psalm beautifully illustrates God's faithful presence in both good times and challenging valleys. Consider a time when you felt lost or made a "wrong turn" in life. How did you experience God's presence during that time? Today, practice being aware of God's presence in every moment, especially in situations that feel difficult or uncertain.
Day 3: Strength in Weakness
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
Devotional: Paul's "thorn in the flesh" reminds us that God's power is made perfect in our weakness. Like Paul, we often face persistent challenges that God chooses not to remove. Instead, He provides sufficient grace to endure and even thrive despite our weaknesses. What "thorn" are you dealing with right now? How might God be using it to display His strength in your life? Ask God to help you see your weaknesses as opportunities for His power to shine through you.
Day 4: Faith in the Fire
Daniel 3:8-30
Devotional: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's faith in the fiery furnace exemplifies unwavering trust in God's power and presence, even in life-threatening situations. Their story reminds us that God is with us in our deepest trials, often in ways we can't immediately see. What "furnace" are you facing right now? How can you demonstrate faith like these three men, trusting God regardless of the outcome? Ask God to strengthen your faith and help you sense His presence in your most challenging moments.
Day 5: The Battle Belongs to the Lord
2 Chronicles 20:1-30
Devotional: Jehoshaphat's victory through praise teaches us a powerful lesson about spiritual warfare. Sometimes, our greatest weapon is simply trusting God and offering Him praise, even before we see the victory. What battles are you fighting right now? How might your perspective change if you approached these challenges with praise and worship instead of worry and fear? Today, spend time praising God for who He is and the victories He has won and will win on your behalf. Trust that as you praise, He is fighting for you.
