Victory Today

You are a composite of the 5 people you hang around the most. Who do you listen to? Who do you take advice from? Who is your spiritual guide? Do you know what you believe?

What is happening in the Ukraine? How much worse do you think it will get before Jesus comes?   How can I be blessed in these times?

Prepare to be shocked!

Do you really believe God can do anything? I mean anything! We oft times say we believe but when push comes to shove---we let go of the one and only hope we have for a certain situation. These are hard times BUT GOD is able and is still the God of the impossible!

Paul said in Acts 27: "Sirs I believe God!" Though he would eventually be shipwrecked and you and I may go through our share of "shipwrecks" in life---God is always there and He has given us a precious book full of His promises. Our choice is to believe Him and to read and study His promises and take heart!

Life, even for a Christian, is full of ups and downs. Trails come, attacks come---as a child of God they are promised and these are very challenging days. BUT GOD! He is sure, steady and has all the hope and answers we need!

This is the age of discontent! How do you witness to someone totally against God? What does Romans 13 mean when it says if we resist the "powers" of God we bring damnation on ourselves? Where did this era of discontent start? How should we treat those who oppose God?

Doubt cancels faith. It is one of the biggest tools of the enemy. Jesus said if we ask "and doubt not!" An ounce of doubt and you're out! Trust me, we've all been there and in this world it's tough reminding ourselves we are children of a King and He has everything we need!

The Bible tells us to be "ready to give an answer for the hope we have found in Jesus Christ." To "let our light shine" to be an "epistle read of all men." A street preacher---no unless that is His calling on your life---but a person people realize who has something different about them. A light. A source of hope in a world that needs to see there is hope.

Jude tells us we should "earnestly contend" for the faith! He describes much of what we see around us---even referring to the "last times" and challenges us to be "contenders"---fighters for right, standing for the Lord and His Word! Fighting for our children and grandchildren.
