Christ Gives Us the Victory, Always

 


       (Written for a friend who feels she's having a rough time right now.)


       We who have named the Name of Christ  may feel we're in a battle at times.  And so we will be, in a sense.  But we're not alone in this.  Most, if not all, the shining lights that have gone before us went through the same thing.  But they stood with Christ and were brought to a lasting victory.  So will you and I, if we take to heart what our Saviour says about God's unfailing, everpresent  love for us.  Jesus, never someone to waste words, had this to say about what is coming at us, that it's from the devil, the father of lies.  And we must not believe what he is telling us about us.


         Say to God, I will trust the words You gave Your Son to give the world.  I will not doubt the immense power behind these words to deliver us from whatever comes at us. The false suggestions will cease, as they always do.  As they always will.  The blessings this brings are beyond most of to imagine.


         Then we will find ourselves saying, "Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
