Victory
5 May we shout for joy over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:5-7
Do you ever go throughout your day trying to achieve some sort of victory? Maybe it is a small victory of a challenge at work, or a personal victory of challenging yourself to be more healthy or active, or it could be an actual physical or mental competition we try to win. I was listening to a famous Gospel singer Yolanda Adams sing a song called Victory this week, and there was something interesting about this song, the song focused a great deal about our Victory. It was not related to our actions, but to the actions of our Lord and Savior. Maybe that is one of our shortcomings in that we spend too much time focusing on our own personal victories and less time on the true victory that really matters. We can easily be reminded of this by a few words in a song or a few passages of God's Word. Keep sight of the victory that has already been won and trust in the Lord.
Have a great weekend.
