claim victory

 


Just some simple thoughts today on victory.  This is one of those subjects that God tells us some things about that is very important.  Hold on to what God says!


Proverbs 21:31  NLT  

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.


That promise says that we can prepare for victory, and we should.  But it is God’s way and dealing that leads us to the actual victory.  


There is something about a team or person that is preparing for victory or battle or an important game.  There is intention and desire.  There is hard work and a journey ahead. 


1 Corinthians 15:57  NLT  

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


This is not only spiritual victory but victory in so many other areas when we see how God created us.  Let what Jesus did for you go far past just our salvation.


Romans 8:37  NLT  

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.


That verse has come alive for me lately.  We will see it more, talk about it more and even hold on to in some special places.


But what I leave us thinking about today is that there are many things and people that try to take the things of God from us, but the promise of God is for us and for our victory in life.  


Claim the victory God promises!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
