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?

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
