Forever Victorious In Him
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth
us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place
(2 Corinthians 2:14).
Psalm 91:3-7 is so comforting. It reveals God’s
commitment to protect and take care of you—
even in the midst of all the troubles and crises in the
world! It says, “Surely he shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his
wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for
the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall
fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.”
Do you see why you should never faint or be
dismayed by the happenings around you? Trust the
Lord and His Word. You’re divinely protected from
the wickedness and devilry in today’s world: whether
at night, or in the day, the Lord protects and takes
care of you. You’re in safety. Your faith response,
therefore, should be, “Christ is in me, with me, and
for me; therefore, I’m forever victorious!”
He said in Isaiah 43:2, “When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee; and through
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” The
environment in which you live is such that nothing can
harm or destroy you. That environment is Christ.
To be in Christ is to be in God’s secret place of rest
and protection. Psalm 91:1-2 says, “He that dwelleth
in the secret place of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD,
He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will
I trust.” Christ is your refuge! In Him, you have nothing
to fear, because you’re in safety and in prosperity. The
world may be plagued with inflation and economic
meltdowns, but your blessings and prosperity in Christ
are guaranteed.
Confession
I dwell in Christ, where I’m protected and live triumphantly
every day. He’s my Refuge and my Fortress, in whom I
confidently trust! I have no fears, because in Him I live, and move
and have my being. He’s my strength and strong tower, and
in Him I’m rooted and grounded, flourishing in every area of my
life. Glory to God!
