Victory Comes from God

 Scripture:

"Victory comes from you, O Lord. May You bless your people."

Observation:

The Psalmist tells us here that victory comes from God. He then asks the Lord to bless HIs people. What I see here is that God is not a loser. He is always the victor. He doesn't get defeated! My victory is not in myself, it is in and through God Almighty.

Application:

If I know victory comes from God, then I need to stay close to Him at all times. Just like the Psalmist, I want the Lord to know that victory doesn't come from myself, but from God, who fights my battles and defeats my enemies. Victory is not the accomplishment of hard work and individual effort, it comes from the Lord. We must rely more on Him and relax more in confidence that God always wins.

Prayer:

Father, teach me to trust You more. You are my victory. Victory comes from You and You alone. Help me not to lean on myself and my understanding, but in all my ways to ackowledge You. You are incredible and it is a pleasure to serve You.

Yours,

Jeff
