The bible
tells us because we are Christ’s, we will be ultimately victorious.
I know in
day-to-day life on this journey I don’t always feel victorious.
In fact, at
the end of far too many days, I heave a sigh of relief as my head hits the
pillow. Sleep is elusive as I beat myself up mentally about both the undone obligations
left unchecked on my list, and the wish-I’d-done differently scenarios of the
day.
Thank God,
it doesn’t all depend on me!
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39 NLT
The truth is, I am loved (and you are loved) by the all-powerful One.
Nothing can separate me (us) from that love.
Nothing.
And as if that is not enough, I’m assured of
overwhelming victory. I just have to wait for it on God’s timetable, because
He. Has. Perfect. Timing.
Loved. Victorious. AmaZing!

ReplyDelete"...and the wish-I’d-done differently scenarios of the day."
ReplyDeleteI think this is very common. Not that it makes it good, just familiar. It reminds me of a line in a silly movie (Superstar). God is trying to tell the main characters something but none of them can accept He is talking to them. They comically ask, "Me? Me?" Haha...and God sighs, "Why did I make them all so insecure?"
You know, when I saw that movie I laughed at that part because I could SO relate to it. But, as I was typing that just now, it breaks my heart. He didn't make us that way.
Yes, thank the Lord it doesn't depend on me, either. Yikes. Encouraging always to know who the victory belongs to.
