2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG | “In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, He brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance.”

Jesus’ death on the Cross ensured your victory. Your actions matter, no doubt. However, your continued victory in life happens, because God has given you victory as a gift in Christ. Victory is one of your riches in Christ. Victory is your default in Christ.

No matter what today’s trouble is, know that through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will emerge victorious. You are a victor, not a victim! What floors others, will only take you higher. You will not be put to shame.

Remember: God defines victory, not you. Not your friends, not even your enemies. Jesus’ hanging on the Cross didn’t look like victory. Yet, today, all creation knows that’s the greatest thing that ever happened on earth. Face life with your head held high knowing that victory is yours in Christ Jesus. Step out with courage because God’s got you. You will not fail!
