“Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies.” Psa 108:13
A dear friend of mine shared a thought the Lord had given
her which I believe is spot on.
I feel Christians live too much in a spiritual defensive
mode rather than a mindset of victory in which we’ve been promised. (Deut 20:4; 1 Cor 15:57)
Here’s her statement: “We should stop thinking about faith
as a magic wand that we wave when we want to feel better about unmet expectations
(defeat). Instead we should think of
it as a muscle we flex to do the heavy lifting that removes the pain of unmet
expectations and allows us a way to see God at work (victory) without temporal distraction.”
I added faith should not be isolated for a defeated response,
but rather a victorious hope.
Point being: Don’t
use faith to coupe but to conquer!
Often prayer lives end with requests for help in order to coupe
with stressful situations.
David’s Psalm (108) was not a prayer for rescue, but
victory.
With God’s power we can claim more than mere survival, we’re
promised victory!
You’re not fighting for victory… you’re fighting in victory!
Victory is already yours. (Jn 16:33)
