Seeing The Victory
I Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Hello again! Glad to see each of you waking to a new and exciting day that the Lord has provided! Most will be getting up to routines or plans, and I do hope that each of you stopped for a moment to give God a few minutes. When we give ourselves precious time with God, we are guaranteed better outcomes during that day. In every day, each of us need to take moments to see the little victories, not just the big ones. Sometimes, just to acknowledge that simple things mean as much or even more than the huge ones, can make a blessed impact on our lives! Every triumph, every completion of a task, every milestone completed is a gift from God, achieved with faith that the outcome will be positive. When you put all, you can into whatever you are working toward, God sees you, He believes in you, He will support you, He will let you know if this is the plan He has for you! If we ponder on situations for a moment; if we think about how victories happen; our minds will look toward how we came about those decisions; how we allowed God to give us confirmation. We also, can look at how victories can happen if we praise God in the storms just as we praise Him in the sunlight. Doing this shows we have a secure faith that God has our backs; that trusting in His timing will lead to victories. There will be times that you just can’t see the other end of the tunnel; that you forget that accepting the victories of the small things leads to the bigger things. When you get to this point, remember Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” If you take a moment today, pause, breathe, then pray for God to bring you peace, confidence, and hope! Place any needs you have on His shoulders so that as you work toward a victory, He will be there with you! Take a moment also to recall all the victories you have already achieved; then open your eyes seeing the real victory is in knowing Jesus! “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, Philippians 4:13!
