Walking In Victory Sample

Before Joshua and the rest of the men approach Ai, God speaks to Joshua and tells him that He ́s already given them the city. Can you see the difference this statement makes? He fought with his heart set on victory. No matter how hard the people of Ai were willing to fight back. He knew the battle belongs to God (1 Samuel 17:47). 

Joshua knew he could resist and succeed, because he had a promise from God. D. L. Moody said, “God never made a promise that was too good to be true.” We have a similar promise in Scripture. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says that God has given us the victory through Jesus Christ. In all our struggles and difficulties, our heart has to be set on victory. 

Through Jesus Christ, we have victory over sin, we have victory over guilt and we have victory over death. Our sins have been forgiven and we have the promise of eternal life with God. Death, sin, and guilt are defeated enemies that have no control over us anymore. We, like Joshua, have been given victory before the match starts. 

Heavenly Father, I praise You because You loved us so much that You sent Your Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross so I could have eternal life. Thank You for loving me and caring for me. In Jesus name. Amen.
