I think Sunday is a great day to celebrate!
It’s easy to celebrate when we know that God is good. Do you know that He is good? I mean, truly know it.
Many of us say, “God is so good”, but nothing in our lives indicates the belief in that word. At the first sign of difficulty, we moan and complain and wonder where God is and what He is doing.
What if we truly believed?
What would your mindset become if you truly believed that God is a good God? Would we be so inclined to mimic the grumblings of the Israelites? They saw one miracle after another, but in between them they complained and lost belief. It’s crazy, but it’s true. If that was the case for them, then we must also be susceptible to this sin.
Oh Lord, help me in my disbelief.
I have started to practice certain things, and one of them is this…when I hear good or bad news, I thank God for His goodness. I imagine myself handing over that difficult thing to Him. Or I thank Him for the good things and ask Him to keep moving in our lives.
I think what I’m realizing is we need momentum in our lives. That momentum isn’t dependent on whether we have good or difficult things happening. If we truly want to move forward and take lasting ground in victory, then we must hand over everything. The difficulties and the victories.
Too often I’ve received a victory, then fallen straight into complacency. I know I’m not alone in this…it’s exactly the way of the Israelites.
Let’s learn to celebrate our victories and thank God…while at the same time believing for even more.
This is the way forward, I believe.
Not being unsatisfied with victory but allowing it to make us hunger for more. Thanking God and then praising Him for leading us in victory. He leads us this way. Glory to glory.
Why would we settle for just enough, when we serve the God of more than enough?
If you ask me, just enough is selfish because it only allows for your own victory. When we move from victory to victory, then we have enough to share with others. We create a momentum of victorious mindset that becomes contagious. We owe it to others to discover how to walk in the victory that Christ died for us to have.
I challenge you to ask for victory in your life…then when it comes, praise God for it and ask Him to lead you into the next victory! Christ followers, it’s time to take the land!!!
But thanks be to God, Who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God. 2 Corinthians 2:14-17
