Sadly, many Christians have the opinion that the Lord gives and takes away, that He is good to some and cruel to others. That there are times we will be victorious and times we will lose. However, when we read the Bible in context, and study the life it promises for those in Christ Jesus – this is certainly not what we find!
The Bible declares we will move from faith to faith, strength to strength and victory to victory. It says we are to give thanks to God Who ALWAYS leads us in triumph, in Christ Jesus! We don’t have to settle for anything less! Psalm 37:24 says although we may stumble, we will NEVER fall. Jesus did say we would face persecution and trials, but that we should be of good cheer, because He has overcome it all and deprived this world of power to harm us!
Paul said in Christ we are MORE than conquerors as long as we remain rooted and anchored in The Rock who is Jesus Christ! We are promised we will never be left alone or forsaken, but reign victoriously in life – when we are in Him! So keep your chin up, walk tall in faith as one who overcomes! You’ll see every place you set the sole of your foot, is yours for the taking – in Jesus Name!
