More Than Conquerors

Ah, sweet victory – I’m done! I could stop here and say that my victory today is crossing the finish line, completing the challenge, but I feel it would be a good time to stop and reflect on what I’m taking with me from this month.

Sometimes in life there are clear victories, victories that even the world has to stop and commend as well done. Epic victories, if you will.

Other days, they’re smaller. Maybe like finding new awesome pants, or making a Halloween costume in 5 minutes (yep, did that today) or avoiding a $164 ticket.

But most days you have to look harder. You have to look past what the world values as worth celebrating, and recognize where the victory really is. It feels like for me it’s usually in the small choices I make – grace, joy, peace, patience, where they wouldn’t have been otherwise.

But for the days when it seems no victory is in sight, there is always one. The awesome truth I’m claiming as victory today is this: we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. No matter what happens today, I’m coming out ahead in the end because I have Him on my side. That’s a victory no one can take away.

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

Are you claiming your victory in Him today?

    Love your blog, Gina. Really encouraging as I’m applying for jobs again…Am I really supposed to be a teacher? Did I hear that wrong when Don said, “Cindy, I think you should get your license. I think it’s a sign.” What am I telling myself? It’s good to persevere, character building. Please put me on the list to receive the blog by e-mail.
