God knows what doors He is opening and shutting for our best. He sees our weakness and the little strength that we have to keep going, but He also sees our commitment to Him. He will bring us through no matter what. Our victory is not up to us. Victory is all up to God and in His hands. Stay faithful because He is faithful.

God is close. He does not leave us. He is as close as the whisper of His name. The Bible tells us that He is close to the broken hearted. In every situation, we can trust God to remain with us.

Knowing that Christ died and rose for us leaves us with a joy beyond any challenge we face. There will be trouble in our lives but with the Lord we move ahead with a joy that the world can not take away because we know that we win. The Lord makes us victorious. We can stay joyful in Him.

May time with God be our decision today and everyday. May we choose that sitting with Jesus is the better choice all the time. May we understand that our relationship with Him is priority above everything else. The concerns of the world will always be there and the Lord is the only one who can take care of them all. He is the answer and our victory.

Even Jesus knew the best place of strength was in God. He abided with the father and produced fruit. His life was a life of obedience even in the most difficult time. He went all the way to the cross for us. Our lives will only have the strength it needs and bear the legacy we desire through staying connected with God. Jesus promises that our abiding with Him will bring fruit. Let's believe Him and stay connected.

Delighting in God will make our hearts aligned with His best for our lives. When He is our first love and priority we receive what our hearts truly need and want. When our desires are His desires we will never go wrong. He leads us to the right things and makes the wrong right in our lives.

There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Nothing separates us from Him and the freedom found in Him. No matter what we face, nothing can win against the power of God working in us and through us. We are His. We are loved. We are victorious all because of the love and power of Jesus. The truth is and will always be, that we are loved and we are winning. God is love. God is has defeated the enemy. Nothing will ever change that.

This week as we reflect on God, may our belief in who He is and what He has done and what He can do grow. May our faith grow. May we be drawn deeper into His love and into loving and trusting Him. We may suffer a little in our challenges of life, but we will be strengthened. We have the victory.

God is close. He promises to be and He keeps His promises. He close to the broken hearted. With Him we shall not want for anything. Today may we experience His closeness in a new way and stay open to His move.

May our praise and worship bring to our memory the victory we have in Jesus. May we always rejoice over the present and past victories that God brings us. May the end of every challenge result in worship. May the beginning of every challenge begin with worship. God is our victory. God will always bring victory. No matter what, we can declare His victory.
