Day 109
I Corinthians 15:57
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
God gives us victory, so we should not feel we must earn it. We were unable to obtain it for ourselves. Our heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son to suffer and die, descend into Hell, and be raised from the dead for us.
Colossians 2:14 tells us the evidence of our guilt and unworthiness was nailed to the cross, where Jesus died. That freed us from doom. The forces of darkness would have kept us bound, but verse 15 reveals that Jesus triumphed over them. God did not need to fight them for His sake. Darkness was never a threat to Him. It was done for us. Jesus became a man and represented us in the battle of the ages. He won! Therefore, we win!
Let us lift our hearts, our heads and our voices today and declare our victory boldly and proudly. We cannot brag on ourselves, but we are certainly proud of our Savior. What a privilege to be children of the Most High God. May we accept our victory with an attitude of gratitude. First, we must act as though we believe God. Then, we must let our dedication to Him demonstrate appreciation.
I believe God has given me victory. I will conduct myself accordingly. I will demonstrate my appreciation through my dedication to Him.
