God Gives The Victory!
"Yet in all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us."
Romans 8:37
During the American Revolution, the Continental Army under
George Washington made an almost miraculous retreat from
Brooklyn across Manhattan, as they were badly outnumbered
by the incoming British troops. “If
every nerve is not strained
recruit a new army with all
possible expedition,” Washington
wrote to his brother, “I think the game is pretty nearly up. You
can form no idea of the perplexity of
my situation. No man, I
believe, had a greater
choice of difficulties, and less means to
extricate himself from them.” But Washington had a firm grip
on the truth
of the providence of God, and he didn’t give up.
If we have a firm grip on God’s sovereignty and providence,
we will not give up. God created us to be victors, not to be
losers. Paul exclaimed to the Corinthians: “But thanks be to
God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”
(2 Corinthians 15:57).
In our walk with Him, we need to be enthusiastic about the
life God has given us, the future He has promised us, and
the help He has offered us. He is sovereign. He rules over
all. Today live like someone who is more than a conqueror
through Him!
"A superintending Providence is ordering
everything for the best, and… in due time,
all will end well."
George Washington
