Devotional Reflection
This world is a hard place to live. Yes, we can get away from the fight for a while. We can find a way to ignore the problem or call it something else for a while. But in the end, we will have to fight. Even when things are hard, we can remind ourselves that we will win. Christ has won! We will be happy for Him when He does well. In case you didn't know, the end result has already been decided, and Christians "win big" through Jesus. And this win is a win for life!
Prayer
I'm grateful to God for giving me the victory through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Because I know that every day brings me closer to You and the glorious future You have in store for all of Your children, I look forward to the future with excitement. I pray that I never lose sight of that victory while waiting for that day to come. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
