Getting the Win

by Brett Fuller on October 19, 2020

God wants to give us victory, but often it's not for the reasons we think. To Israel He said in Deuteronomy 9:5-6, "It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you... 6 ...for you are a stubborn people" 

Huh? It seemed that even when the Lord's folk were stiff-necked, His mercy allowed for progress to be made. Victory, not being attained because other folks' sin would damage the world more than Israel’s. 

God did not give Israel victory over their enemies because they were so good that He could do no other. Rather, He gave them victory over their enemies because their enemies were so bad!

Knowing this to be the case, as I look upon the spiritual landscape of the world, there sure do seem to be a lot of victories yet to be secured. So, today- go get a win! Live right, live well...
