Coping or Conquering – Which One Are You Doing?

There are all too many people in this world that spend their lives trying to cope with life’s challenges and crisis. They are so consumed with just coping, that they forget that they were created to conquer, not just cope in life.

So what does it mean to cope? The dictionary gives several meanings which include “get by, make it, put up with it”.

The word “cope” is actually a very negative word. It is synonymous with resign. The resigned person has usually given up in at least one area of his/her life. You will hear a resigned person say things like:

• Well I tried to make a change, but it did not work, now I will just have to grin and bear it.
• We will just have to cut down on some things. I think we will make it.
• Well I guess I will just have to put up with it, what else can I do? (Have you heard someone say something similar to this lately? I have.)

OK:
** We may be facing difficult times as far as the economy goes.
** We may be facing difficulties in family relationships, work relationships, with friends or foes.
** We may be facing many impossibilities and obstacles that seem to be holding us back from realizing our dreams.

BUT

We ALWAYS have a choice! We are born to conquer!

Are you focused on coping or conquering?

A famous evangelist you may well have heard of, Oral Roberts, often proclaimed in his preaching:
