Daily Huddle - Sun Jan 3, 2021 Victory

Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love God’s Word – it’s instructions for life, it’s instruction that brings life, and sustains it.  There are two things that go together.   Psalms 21:1 – O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength.  How great is his joy in the victories you give.  When was the last time you rejoiced in the victory God gives?  You’re entire life is victory, either the victory that God gave, or the victory He is bringing about.  Your life is one victory after another.  Your job is to rejoice, to take joy again.  To smile when you think about it, and remember it… to be glad in your heart, to thank him and praise him and remember what it felt like, the joy of His victories, and take joy in them again.  He did it before, He’ll do it again.  Every victory is a gift from God.  Victories are fought, but they are not won, they are not earned, they are given.  All victories are given by God.  He is the source.  He trains you to fight, gives you strength to endure and prevail, gives you strategy to succeed, and power to overcome.  Every victory belongs to Jesus.  Do the work, stay the course, fight to the finish, do not give up.  Rejoice in the strength of the LORD, in God your strength, and the strength He gives.  Take joy again in the victories He gives.  Take joy again in the victories.  Victory isn’t about you, its about Him.  Delays cannot stop victory, even failures – fail you forward.  They are communications from God that your strategy or effort was insufficient for success.  They keep you humble.  But failures are not final, they are the next step to victory.  They are just a temporary setback designed to adjust you, your words, your thoughts and actions to align you more fully with His words, thoughts and actions for you.  Chicken or egg.  Words or thoughts.  Which come first?  It doesn’t matter if a thought comes first, sometimes the enemy tries to plant wrong thoughts, bad seed, discouragement or perversity (something other than what God said)… but words always overcome thoughts, they redirect them, and establish them.  His Word is superior to your word, or any other word.  SO His Word in your mouth establishes your thoughts, ensures your actions and produces the victories He gives.  Praying that you will take joy again and again in the last victory God gave, and fill your heart with His Word by your own mouth, until you can rejoice in the next victory He gives, that nothing short of His will or his way will ever overcome you, but you will overcome it!  So you see what God can and will do in the life of the one who is fully committed to Him.  Its victory after victory.  Praying that PRISM is your priority, those five things you can do in God’s Word every day, because if it is, victory is coming.  Every time you Praise the Word – the next victory is expedited to you.  Praying that PiVAT before dinner is your priority, it’s how God gives you His plans so you can see a victory in every hour.  Every obedience is a victory, it’s worth praising God for.  It’s how joy comes, again and again.  Praying that your rejoicing always bumps into each other.  That you won’t stop rejoicing, and fully obeying until the next victory comes! 
 
Love you all,
