That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12(NKJV)

Victorious living can come from one major victory after another. Yes, we do have times when we have great breakthroughs; however, most of our victories come slowly. They come little by little. It’s as if we inch forward. Because we move slowly in our spiritual growth, business, career, and family achievements, we are often unaware of how far we have moved. If the devil can make us think that we must have one decisive spiritual victory or material success after another or we’re losers, he has gained an important stronghold. Each time the enemy reminds you of the times you have failed, remind him of the times you have succeeded. You have made progress without realizing it

“Don’t quit. Don’t give up.” That’s the message we need to hear. I think of the words of Isaiah:

Fear not, for I have redeemed you…; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you (Isaiah 43:1-2 AMPC).

We don’t need to fear because God is with us. And when God is with us, we will surely win. “Don’t quit. Keep fighting. “We don’t ever reach the place where we never have to fight. But it’s not just our fight. Jesus is not only with us, but He is for us. He’s at our side to strengthen us and to urge us onward.

Prayer of the Day: God, despite my failures and struggles, You are with me, encouraging me not to give up. Please help me to remember that, with Your help, I can win. In the name of Jesus, I pray, amen.
