We're Not Victims. We Are Victorious.

We're not victims. We are victorious.

I heard this on the radio this morning as I was driving into work. I don't remember the name of the songwriter who was being interviewed. But I've been meditating on this statement all day.

We are not victims. We are not victims of our circumstance. We are not victims of sin. We are not victims of meaninglessness.

No.

We are victorious. We are victorious in Christ. Through Him, we are victorious over all things - even death.

1 Corinthians 15: 54b-57 says, “then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

There is power in these words of God! When the circumstances, pain, suffering, meaningless, evil, and death of the world get us down - remember: We are victorious in the power of Jesus.

Thank you, Lord, for reminding me of Your power today.
