We should always strive to live a victorious life! We can only do this with Jesus!

 

We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.

- 2 Corinthians 4:8 

Life is not easy always! Yes, we are stressed, persecuted, hated, mistreated, have disappointment from people and things of this world, it does not always feel like victory each day. However, with Christ in us, with God on our side, we can have success, victory, peace, and joy! We do not have to live crushed lives, yes, some trials, yes, some misfortune, but if you have Christ and His Spirit living in your, you can have joy and victory! 

The Mornings With God App today said, " As Christians, we should always strive to live a victorious life. Of course, we’ll face burdens, struggles, trials, and suffering, but we shouldn’t be defeated by them. Our Scripture today shows us the way: “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Our Master overcame the world, and He was never defeated. He wants us to live the same way. We can’t do it on our own, but we can find help in Him and be “more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Even if our physical body breaks down, that doesn’t mean defeat. “Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” We have an inner, glorious life that nothing in this world can harm. “We know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, eternal in the heavens.” Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/july/29

I love the Mornings with God App! I start my day with its prayers, quotes, and write-ups. This is one of them from today. We need to remember to live a life filled with the Spirit of Christ! To live with joy. To do His will, and know that although we may have struggles,  and yes, we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, eternal in the Heavens with Jesus!
