Previous Daily Devotional About the foolishness of defeat… 1 John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (NIV) Defeat is never certain until the game is over. When the game is over, defeat means nothing to those who won. When the game is over, defeat means something only to those who lost. Defeat in life is foolishness because in life we are all ultimately winners in Christ if we chose to be His children. The desire for victory in life should drive all of us to excel in all we do...for God and not for ourselves. When we taste defeat we must see the foolishness of sitting in dejection and loss. For when we have God on our side pulling for us, it does not make any difference if we come out on top of the world. When God is for us, we cannot be defeated. When God is for us, we have all the power of the universe on our side. When God is for us, we cannot be defeated and we are always on top of His world with God standing by us every moment. |
