Thanks be to God, who always lead us in triumphal procession in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:14). God wins His greatest victories through apparent defeats. very often the enemy seems to triumph for a season, and God allows it. but then He comes in and upsets the work of the enemy, overthrows the apparent victory, and as the Bible says, "frustrates the ways of the wicked" (Psalm 146:9). consequently, He gives us a much greater victory than we would have known had He not allowed the enemy seemingly to triumph in the first place. if there is a great trial in your life today, do not acknowlege it as a defeat. instead, continue by faith to claim the victory through Him who is able to make you "more than querors" (Romans 8:37), and a glorious victory will soon be apparent. may we learn that in all the difficult places God takes us, He is giving us opportunities to exercise our faith in Him that will breing about blessed results and greatly glorify His name.
