Are You Fighting From Victory?
“And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”
1 Samuel 17:4

Ponder This
Not only did the Lord Jesus win the battle against our archenemy, the devil, but He also gave us an example that we should walk in His steps. Though Jesus has and will win the war, there are still battles ongoing. In a sense, this fight is already won and yet, in another sense, it needs to be fought each day. We don’t fight for victory; we fight from victory. The victory has been won at Calvary, and that’s the reason that we can win it each day.
Imagine the giant in your life. Is it lust? Is it envy? Is it materialism? Is it laziness? Is it fear? Is it greed? Is it hatred? Is it doubt? What is it that stands between you and God’s will for your life, between you and the joy and victory God wants you to have? You can be sure that there is victory in Jesus.
- What is the giant you need to face right now?
- How will you seek to fight this battle with God’s strength and not your own?

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
