Good Day Everyone!

Victory always hangs on the backdrop of an undesirable, uncontrollable, very painful set of circumstances. Because of this, even victory can feel like defeat when we are not careful to rivet our attention on what is happening front and center! 

In life, there are some things we CAN control and MANY things we have no control over whatsoever. 

For example: we cannot control the actions of other people… we cannot control how other people will interpret our actions… and we cannot control how other people will react to our actions.

Because of these realities… there will always exist an element of defeat, even in the most beautiful of moments. And we must develop the ability to SEE the victory… TASTE the victory… EMBRACE the victory… WALK OUT the victory without guilt or condemnation… free from the intimidating imagery of the BACKDROP.

If we’re not careful, we will focus so much on the starving people of our world that we will not enjoy the taste of another meal. If we’re not careful, we will focus so much on all the haters in our world, that we will NOT enjoy life with all the LOVERS.

Is there a VICTORY that God has brought about in your world… and you’re just not able to celebrate it as a victory due to the gruesomeness of its backdrop? Stop it! Pray about the things you cannot control… give those things to God… and TRUST that HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE! 

Philippines 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Think on the GOOD THINGS HAPPENING… PRAISE GOD for the good things happening… CELEBRATE without apology… for God has done amazing things… and HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO AMAZING THINGS in your life… because HE LOVES YOU and he is ROOTING FOR YOU!

I pray todays blog adds tremendous value to your amazing life! I just finished praying for you guys and gals… chat with you later!
