The victory
lies in learning how to live, not in the situation turning out
according to our comfort. What a difficult lesson. Victory in the Christian life is the experience of our salvation. Many are saved, but do not experience their salvation. They flounder, live in anger and are always looking for a higher rock on which to stand. But we have already been given a high place - the Person who is the Rock of Ages. And it is in learning obedience that we experience our salvation. That is why the great stories of victory include those who gave their lives for the sake of the gospel. Soldier, pull your attention away from the thing that is not resolved, and live in obedience for the next hour. God's will is no mystery. He has made it clear. The youngest and the simplest can live in buoyant victory and can experience standing on ground that will never move. Obedience! The taste of victory! |
