Victory in the Marching – 2 Samuel 8: 6b

God gave victory to David wherever he marched. 

– 2 Samuel 8: 6b

Victory in the Marching

Have you ever heard a story about anyone, anywhere, in any time EVER achieving victory by sitting around?  If you have, please send me the story because I'd love to hear how they did it.

No . . . in order to get victory, true victory . . . over anything, it takes hard work.  It takes perseverance!  It takes moving to, and in, and through, and past an obstacle.  It takes a march.  You see a march is not a stroll; it isn't a casual walk through life or a lazy stroll down memory lane.  A march—a Victory March—is purposeful and calculated.  It is a well-planned, well-provisioned event with a singular goal . . . Victory.  God gave Victory to David wherever he marched because David marched with the confidence and faith that God was on his side.  He Believed in God and he didn't waver when things got tough. 

Do you need victory in your life today?  Well you're never going to get it sitting on your hands.  It's going to take some planning.  It's going to take preparation for a march.  You're going to have to provision yourself by first discovering what God's Victory isn't.  It isn't easy street that's for sure.  God's victory is Peace . . . in the midst of storms, in the deep dark trenches of stresses and turmoils of your life.  God's Victory is being able to absorb the biggest nastiest "Goliaths" that life can dish out and still be able to stand tall and firm in the faith of God's love for you.

Your Victory will come as you march through the Word with confidence and trust.  So are you ready for the battle?  Do you have your marching orders in hand?  Your victory is near, you just need to start marching towards it.

Prayer

Father, thank You for the Victory we have through Your Word.  Thank You for sending Your Son to give us that Victory and for giving us the Way to Peace.  Help us as we discover how to march into the Victorious life that came through the resurrection of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Have a Blessed day everyone!
