What does it look like to live victoriously? Last week, I told a story of a clear picture of how deciding to live victoriously can play out. But how do you continue to live victoriously?
Last week, a new task was put in my path, and my natural instinct was the "fight" or "flight" mentality- how I could possibly get out of this? You see one of the devils greatest tools on me is my ability to bully myself- masking itself as cowardice- that plus the deep seeded fear of failure, lack of confidence- well, it can paralyze this girl. I've spent the last few days procrastinating the preparation for this project. When finally, I had a great epiphany.
What happened to my Victory?
My knees had been knocked out from under me, the ulcers that I will no doubt have as a result of my obsessive worrying and fear- Victory- I lost it. It can happen that fast.
Victory is something I have to chose- daily, moment, by moment. Jesus has already won the Victory- I am Victorious! It is such a powerful statement when you believe it in your core. Eventually, I pray that it will become my constant truth, as it will become yours.
"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”- John 16:33
"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
