Subject:  God's People Win

1Corinthians 15:57 - "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

I've always had a personal quotation of mine that said, "God's people don't always win, but they always win in the end."  This is true in every context.  It says that regardless of how we view the current situation, with Jesus Christ as our guide, then we win.  If you're financially strapped with no job or income in view, in Christ, you're victorious.  If you're just not where you thought you should be at this point in your life, you're victorious.

The scripture proclaims in 1John 5:4 that, "...whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."  If we choose today to trust in Him, which is our faith, then we are more than conquerors and we stand in every situation, victorious.  Are you on the winning team today?  Let's all hail the victory.
