Well Able to Overcome

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Yesterday we talked about Genesis 32:28 which says, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”

In Hebrew the word for "overcome," is "yakol," which means... to overcome, prevail, be victorious, or well able.  

This word "yakol," also appears twice in Numbers 13:30 when the spies came back from the promised land with a bad report, but Caleb stands up and say, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it."

In the phrase, "we are well able to overcome it," the word yakol is used twice in the Hebrew language. 

It reads, "yakol yakol."

Caleb was emphatic that they were able to overcome because he trusted that God was with them. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us be confident that we are well able to overcome anything standing in the way of what he has for us because we are confident in him.

Workouts are one of the best ways to practice being well able to overcome because we trust God is with us. 

I am praying for you.
