Victory really is ours. In a new series I am sharing at church we are examining Scripture for what is and what it is not victory. There are things that keep us from victory, and there are some things that allow us to embrace victory.
Romans 8:37 NLT
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
Despite trouble we will have victory. Despite poor understanding we have victory. It is our promise from God, our destiny and will be our reality. Learn with me about our God given victory.
In fact today I want to examine the reality of what it is to head toward victory even when we cannot see it. It might be because we literally cannot see, it might be because we cannot understand. But look a little different. It might be because we aren’t listening.
Throughout the Bible we find people who understood that they were destined for victory, but there were many who missed the possibility of victory.
Hebrews 11:8 NLT
It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.
Abraham embodies people of faith. Not only was he the father of faith and the pre-history figure to Jesus, but his relationship with God reminds us of our own journey.
What does victory look like for you? What did victory look like for Abraham? What does victory look like for our nation? We have much to celebrate, but we have a long way to go.
Finding victory by faith isn’t so easy.
Isaiah 55:6 NLT
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
That is where we, and everyone, will begin on the journey toward victory. Seek God!
