Glory in Him: Victorious In Him

Victorious In Him

The Scripture in my devotional (Our Daily Bread) was Colossians 2:6-15 (read it all to get the full context.) What stood out to me was "you are COMPLETE in Him, who is the head of all principality and power...buried with HIM...raised with HIM...And you, being dead in your trespasses...HE has made alive together with HIM...Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it." Wow!!! We have everything in HIM. You know in Ephesians 6:12 it says, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Yet from the Colossians passage we see that HE is the head of all principality and power and that HE has disarmed principalities and powers. Yet seldom do we walk as Victorious In HIM. If God is for us who can be against us. We are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us. Thank you Jesus for you not only saved me and love me with an unconditional love, but You also give me all that I need to get through and be victorious.

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
