I don't want to get all technical or anything but the dictionary says this about victory. (I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to definitions)
-a successful ending of a struggle or contest.
Further more the bible also has a lot to say about it.
Well one thing in particular.
It says that we have it.
One of my Favorites is
1 Corinthians 15:58
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in The Lord"
So because we already have victory it means a few things
1. We don't have to strive for it.
2. We must be steadfast and immovable.
3. We can completely give ourselves over to the work of The Lord and when we do that all our work is not in vain.
It's funny how I can know this but feel the complete opposite.
I know He has already Won but can get caught up feeling defeated.
It never says it's going to feel like victory all the time, it just says it is.
The victory is being immovable even though you feel like moving.
The victory is coming to church even though it would be so much easier to stay home.
Going back to the word daily.
The victory might be that your still here and present even if your holding on to God by a small thread.
Truth is your holding on and even if you let go He has a strong grip on you.
The victory is that your still speaking life, still giving him everything, still encouraging others.
The victory is that you didn't run even when you really wanted to.
The victory is that you stayed even when it hurt.
The victory is in the moments you do what needs to be done regardless of how hard or impossible it seems.
The victory is in the moments you have literally nothing to fix or change your situation other then to trust God.
The victory is in asking for help, admitting that you don't know and aren't infact perfect.
So even if it does not feel in the slightest like it.
We have already Won.
