In 1924, two climbers were part of an expedition that set out to conquer Mount Everest. As far as is known, they never reached the summit; and they never returned. Somewhere on that gigantic mountain they were overpowered by the elements and died. After the failure of the expedition, the rest of the party returned home. Addressing a meeting in London, one of those who returned described the ill-fated adventure. He then turned to a huge photograph of Mount Everest, mounted on the wall behind him.
"Everest," he cried, "we tried to conquer you once, but you overpowered us. We tried to conquer you a second time, but again you were too much for us. But, Everest, I want you to know that we are going to conquer you, for you can't grow any bigger, and we can!"

Acts 14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
When Paul and Barnabas went about planting churches they had this one thing in mind. They encouraged the new believers and made it clear that struggles will surely come. Every day has it’s struggles of its own. Everyone has their share of sorrows. But we need not give up, and keep going. Our strength comes from the simple and most powerful fact that, when God is for us who can stand against us.
Several times in life, situations seems to overpower us. We are always having some or the other challenge as we strive to walk with the Lord. Let us be encouraged that HE continues to help us grow and be victorious over every struggles that we face. We shall overcome.
