Victory Is Sweet!

A few weeks ago I would've probably crumbled beneath the weight of it all going on right now in this world. I would have remained in that mindframe of disappointment and discouragement... oh, but something has happened over the last few weeks that has prepared me for such a time as this... God has mercifully and boldly raised me up to stand against the wiles of the enemy (Ephesians 6:11). God already knew what was coming down the line, and He's faithfully and firmly placed my feet on a solid rock to stay focused on Him in that secure and safe spot He is to me (in the hollow of His hand). I choose to trust God through it all even when things don't make sense to me in my human mindframe. That means trusting the process, trusting the delays, and trusting His timing. I know how important it is to cling to God's goodness and rise above all of the adversity and allow my light to shine for Jesus through the dark and bleak times. Coming out of my prayer time tonight, I lifted my head and hands towards the ONE where my help comes from. I took a hold of His righteous right hand, as I lifted my praise to Him in both spirit and in truth. In this season, in this hour... I know I'm called to pray and fast over everything we are facing in this country and that's what I'm doing. Prayers are never in vain! I was reminded of the words of a song tonight, "and I see a great band of angels camped all around me. And I see the captain rising up, the challenge to meet. And I know I'm safe from harm when I'm touching Jesus. Oh, yes, the battle is His, the victory is mine, and victory is sweet." No matter how you may be feeling or what you're facing in this hour, I come out of prayer with this assurance and reminder for you and myself... GOD IS STILL HERE, CLING ONLY TO HIM! ♡
