Take It!

He holds victory in store for the upright; He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones" (Proverbs 2:7-8, NIV)

Is there something in your life that seems impossible to overcome? We all have struggles that we must contend with; and while they may differ in magnitude we all want the same thing, Victory Over Them!!!

Our scripture tells us that the Lord our God holds Victory for the upright. I believe God is paying special attention to the needs of those who are loyal and committed to Him and is very much aware of the things we need victory over.

The surest way to obtain victory in our lives is through the Word of God. It is through the Word that we gain the wisdom needed to first handle our circumstances, and second find out the specific steps God would have us take to achieve victory over them. There is no-thing in our lives that is to big for God. No matter what the world tries to throw our way we must remember and confess… Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world!

For me this scripture from Proverbs conjures up an image of God standing before us with His arm out-stretched and in His hand He is holding victory; He is saying, "Here, this belongs to you- Take IT!!!"
