Who gives the Victory?




Scripture:  “The Lord your God is the one who goes with you … to give you victory.”  Deuteronomy 20:4  “After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?” Galatians 3:3

 

This came from our daily reading in Deuteronomy 20:3-4 and Galatians 3
 

 

Observation:  We talked a little bit about this yesterday, but it bears repeating, the way you were saved is the way you continue to live, by faith and obedience in responding to the Lord.  Paul says it perfectly, you started this journey with the Holy Spirit, don’t try to finish on your own!  Continue to walk with the LORD, let Him give you the victory!


 

Application:  Do not be fainthearted or afraid because God is with you! (Deut. 20:3-4)  Continue on with the Lord and His Holy Spirit to guide and help you.



 

Prayer:  Father in Heaven, let me be mindful to always continue to rely on Your Holy Spirit.  I know in my life I can get caught up in things and just “take over”, but let me keep my eyes on You continuously.  I don’t want to be like Peter walking on the water and get my eyes off of you and find myself sinking, but even then Lord You are there to pull us back up and get us back in the boat.  Thank You for being with us and letting us be victorious!  Through Christ I pray, Amen & Amen.
