Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.
Have you ever wondered why, in all these things that are happening in your life and in the world at large, you are still standing? I still ask myself that in everything Israel went through, there was never a time they were totally defeated to the point that they perished, and they suffered. But in all, God was and is faithful. So what is it that we are battling personally, as a family, as a community, and as a country?
Romans 8:37 (ESV): No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
One thing that we need to be assured of is that there is victory in trials and tribulations. Why? Because the victory doesn’t come from us, but through Him who loved us, we obtain that victory. What a privilege it is to fight from victory and not fight for victory. And if you don’t understand that, you will struggle and become frustrated as a believer. One thing that we should never stop emphasizing is that “all these things” (trials and tribulations) will happen without our permission, so let our focus not be on these things but on Him who loved us.
This victory is so overwhelming, and to think that it came because He loves us still blows my mind to this day. For God so loved the world…
