But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

--1 Corinthians 15:57

If you want to be on the winning side of life, get on the right team—God’s team.

Why? Because God has a strategy for your victory no matter how things make look or how discouraged you may feel.

Now, you may say, “Wait Pastor, you don’t know my situation. You don’t how bleak things look for me.” And you know what, you’re right, I don’t know what you’re going through today.

But one thing I do know is that some of the most incredible victories in life come when we face what looks like an insurmountable obstacle. All you and I have to do is what God has called us to do, which is to stay faithful and stay obedient. Live according to the plan that God has outlined for you in His Word. And trust that He cares about your future!

As a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you’re not really fighting for victory. You are fighting from victory! The victory is already yours if you are on God’s team.

I hope you will stand on this hope and promise today!

REMEMBER YOUR SOURCE OF VICTORY—JESUS CHRIST, AND REFUSE TO LET YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES GET YOU DOWN.
