Devotion:
Streams in the Desert
Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ. (2 Corinth. 2:14)
God wins His greatest victories through apparent defeats. Very often the enemy seems to triumph for a season, and God allows it. But then He comes in and upsets the work of the enemy, overthrows the apparent victory, and as teh Bible say, "frustrates the ways of the wicked" (Ps 146:9)
If there is a great trial in your life today, do not acknowledge it as a defeat. Instead, continue by faith to claim the victory through Him who is able to make you "more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37), and a glorious victory will soon be apparent. may we learn that in all the difficult places God takes us, He is giving us opportunities to exercise our faith in Him that will bring about blessed results and greatly glorify His name.
Defeat may serve as well as victory
To shake the sould an dlet the glory out.
When the great oak is straining in the wind,
The limbs drink in new beauty, and the trunk
Sends down a deeper root on the windward side.
Only the sould that knows the mighty grief
Can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come,
To stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.
