A Reflection On Victory

When I am reminded that God’s Kingdom will ultimately prevail

Few of us knew that the day we became a Christian was the day we enlisted in the armed forces. To be a citizen of the Kingdom of God is to be a soldier in its military. And victory belongs to those whose hearts are completely God’s. We may wonder, in this fallen world, why it often seems to elude us; but the problem is likely in our definition of victory. Yes, we will be wounded at times, and eventually death comes to all. But for the faithful, these things never come at the wrong time, and never without a promise. God’s Kingdom purposes will be established through us. Victory is certain.

A wise assessment of our struggles will always include this glorious fact: almighty God fights on behalf of those whose hearts are His. When we look at a problem with a sense of defeat, we are not wise to the reality of God’s power or His promise. We must always know who holds victory in His hand, and we must never lose heart.

Thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
