The first thing in God’s plan for victory is FAITH.
We have to make the decision that we believe Him and that we believe what He’s done for us. That’s not just something we do once, but something we must keep doing every day. It’s so simple, but the reality is, not everyone puts it into practice!
Start today by thinking about Jesus, the Son of God dying on the cross for you. Think about how His blood was shed for you so that you could be forgiven. Think about how He gave up His life so that you could have eternal life and know God. Then think about how He didn’t stay dead but rose from the grave. Jesus wins over everything. He even beat death! The Bible says that we get to experience that same victory because we believe in Him. So let’s decide again today to believe that and live in it.
Does your faith in Him need to change the way you see yourself? Does it need to change the way you see the day in front of you or what’s happening in your world? We don’t live by our feelings or the opinions of other people. We live by faith! We grow stronger every day - by faith! We speak to mountains in our lives and see them move - by faith! We change the world around us - by faith! Let your faith in Jesus set the tone for today!
Scripture
1 John 5:1-5 NLT
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments. Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Hebrews 11:6 NLT
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
