For the Christian, there is no defeat in the cross… Only victory!
The church I grew up in used to sing this song a lot:
I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins and won the victoryOh victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood
He loved me 'ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing floodI heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing
How He made the lame to walk again and 'caused the blind to see
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit"
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory
Christ’s bloodshed death on the cross purchased victory for us. There isn’t shame in the cross. There is victory and triumph.
Prayer Focus:
ADORE God. He is infinite. There was never a time before Him or after Him.
CONFESS trying to get victory on your own.
THANK God for victory in Jesus!
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God to help you appreciate the victory you have in Him.
SILENTLY reflect on the 2 Timothy 1:10
