Delivered vs. Overcoming

thinking about how the Lord delivered the people of Egypt with great evidence of his power and yet in Exodus 13:17 “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” They weren't ready for battle. God had 'delivered' them, but they were not ready to be 'overcomers' which is always His goal for our lives. Thank God for His deliverance when needed, but are you moving towards living as an overcomer?

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, TNIV)
