Triumphant

Greetings!

Praise be to God who always causes us to triumph --2 Corinthians 2:14

Always. Every situation, every problem, every concern is God's opportunity to show us not only who He is, but also who we are in Him. The favor of God is on the lives of His children. Our problems will never triumph over us. God has given us the victory. We are triumphant. Not because we are so great, but because HE is so good. He will never let anything happen that is not working for our good. That is His promise.

We are coming up on Memorial Day. One of the holidays, we have set aside to honor those in military who have died to ensure our freedom. These brave men and women gave their lives to protect ours. That's love. They did it not even knowing who we were...not many people would do that. We take this freedom for granted. We cannot watch the news, and shake our heads at the turmoil in other countries. It is not their problem...it is all of our problem. If there is anyone...anywhere who needs comfort, food, peace...it affects us all. These "heroes" in the military deserve our praise for continuing to fight...for us.

But, there is another. One who deserves our praise. One who also gave His life to purchase our freedom. He did it because He knew us. Even though He knew that, some would dishonor Him, reject Him, abuse Him, and ignore Him. Knowing that most of the time, we wouldn't even acknowledge Him. He has the name that is above every name. At His name even the demons tremble...His name is Jesus...He is the Savior of the world. And we praise Him for His sacrifice, and for His undying love for us.

This Memorial Day, remember all of those who have or will put their lives on the line for us...and when you see someone in the military...thank them for their service. And  don't forget to thank THE ONE who paid it all...our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. In Him, we will always be triumphant!

Until next time...

Be blessed
