Day 5: The Certainty of God’s Delivered Victory

The outcome of our trials is not in question when God is the one fighting for us. He allows situations to become impossibly bleak so that His deliverance is undeniably miraculous. Our testimony is not that we had enough, but that God was enough. The same power that raised Christ from the grave is at work on our behalf, turning crucifixion moments into resurrection victories. Our role is to stand firm in faith, believing that He who promised is faithful, and He will do it.

And the Lord said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” (Judges 7:7 ESV)

Reflection: Looking back on your life, can you identify a time when God gave you a victory that you could never have achieved on your own? How does that memory encourage you to trust Him with your current unfavorable situation?
