A Daily Devotional About victory after defeat… 1 John 5: 3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (NIV) No one wants to experience a crushing defeat. We all have our pride and ego. We all have our vanity wanting us to tell and show the world how powerful we are. When we are defeated, our pride, ego, vanity, and lust for power are destroyed. When we come to the Cross and we look upon our Savior, we are crushed. When we truly see the suffering of Christ on the Cross, we experience a crushing defeat because we put Christ on the Cross. We collapse in a crumpled heap before Him, but then we suddenly feel a gentle touch upon our heart. His gentle touch grows and grows. Suddenly we are not crushed and crumpled any more…we are standing in His glory and grace…we are new persons…we are new persons with a new life…we are new persons who know the victory of His salvation. Out of our crushing defeat, He has produced victory for us and within us. |
