Today God says:
"I have given you victory"
He promises me:
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57)
My response to the word:
God wants me to be a winner. In fact, He has already given me the victory over every weakness and problem through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Because of Him, I am completely victorious over sin, death, fear, and every other enemy. I will walk in the victory God has given to me throughout this day.
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for victory. I am more than a conqueror through you.
Today's scriptures:
"The One who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties" (Rom. 8:37 GW) "Death is turned into victory" (1 Cor. 15:54 GW) "Everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world". (1 John 5:4 GW)
Quote for today:
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory. (William Barclay)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
