Victory

Greetings!

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. --2 Corinthians 2:1

We have the victory! God's word says we do, and He cannot lie. The enemy will try to lead us to believe something different, but the people of God know the truth. Everything that happens has its purpose and its plan.God will always cause us to triumph. We can believe that no matter what happens God will use everything for our good.. He will not waste an opportunity.

It seems that lately I have been saying that a lot, but that is because this season has been a difficult one for me, and for a lot of folks. I know that I have to remind myself...sometimes over and over until it gets down in my spirit. I don't want anything to be a part of me that is not a part of God, so I speak healing and restoration over my life and over yours both now and in the future. I know that God has a good plan for the life of His children, and we have to be determined not to let anything or anyone keep us from it.

We are well into the season of Lent...when God's people begin looking toward the cross. That is where Christians first realized true victory, and where Jesus Christ defeated death so that we could all have eternal life. The shed blood of Jesus, made us pure in God's sight so that He no longer recognized our sin. It cleansed us so that we could be reconciled back to Him. For that alone--we owe Him everything.

I thank God for that, because even though we may not be able to see it right now, we have the promise in His word that victory belongs to us...

Until next time...

Be blessed
