Human beings were created with a resilency and an intended ability to revive. Nothing that you or I encounter here on earth can remove the seed that has been implanted within us. So long as that seed remains, we will flourish under God's care. Stories from God's Word are often sources of encouragement in my life. I have featured five special stories of people who are good examples of faith under the overcomers tab on my Sunrise Scriptures website; stories of people who are overcomers, or conquerors. These people illustrate what it means to be held in God's hand. It is my hope that you find some encouragement in your situation through these Bible stories. Take a moment to look through the ones that seem pertinent to your life, and ask yourself the following questions: 
1. What skill set did the Believer have that provided helpful in overcoming his or her problems? 
2. What skills or talents do I have that could be useful in overcoming my obstacles? 
3. Why am I holding back on God, if He has given me the talents needed to solve this situation? 
4. What method of miraculous intervention, or resources outside the believer did God utilize to help solve the problem?
