Sometimes
life is sweet; everything goes according to plan, life is good. However, we all
know that that is not always the case. Sometimes life can just get too much,
things don’t seem to work out and you just feel like giving up. If that’s you
today I want to encourage you with a few scriptures.
“In
the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world” (John 16:33; KJV). “But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor 15:57). “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth
us to triumph in Christ” (2 Cor 2:14).
These
last 2 verses tell us to be thankful; not for the challenges you are facing but despite
them. Everything may look very bleak in the natural but we can be thankful that
we serve a mighty victorious God for whom nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).
From our verses above we see that with Christ Jesus we are victorious,
triumphant over all the works of satan (Col 2:15). “I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil 4:13).
If
you are in the valley today, keep confessing these verses because they are the
word and the word is the truth whether you feel victorious or not. Confessing
the word will build up your faith (Rom 10:17). How long should you keep
confessing them? Until you experience the victory.
