Guess Who Wins
Have you ever given your best effort at something, but failed? On the other hand, have you ever won a competition and been named the champion? Even the most humble of people want to win. We want to be on the winning team. Good news is in store for all who love and follow Christ. Isaiah 19:20 says this: “It will become a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.” Jesus isn’t only a Champion for the Jews, He’s the eternal Champion over all for all of time. He wins! If you’re on Christ’s side, you’re on the right side. The victory is coming. It’s going to happen. And you’ll be part of the celebration!
LORD, You are the CHAMPION over all! We praise You!
So ‘good’, Debbie. God bless! We’re ‘can-dos’ when we focus on Jesus and go to Him in prayer. In high school …and in my senior year… I prayed before the start of the 440-yard dash, ‘Lord, you pick ’em up … and I’ll put ’em down!’ Guess who won? …And guess who was ‘surprised’? ‘I’ was. It was a ‘close’ one. I could almost feel the breath of the one ‘behind’ me when I crossed the finish line.’ I’ll never forget what I said at the start of that race. The one to the ‘left’ of me was giving me some ‘chatter’, a ‘junior’. Ha. I went to the Lord in ‘prayer’ and He answered ‘mine’.
