Victory by definition, is an act of defeating an enemy. To the Christian, sin is an enemy, a transgression against God. And we know the "wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Through God's grace alone, we have "victory" – salvation and eternal life.
The moment when you say "I do" to God, victory takes breath! Is victory living in you today?

"A Living Place"
by Stephen Young
There is a moment when victory takes breath.
When the force of triumph becomes something alive.
Something that draws breath
and claims the ground beneath it.
Victory becoming a living place.
There are people who walk here.
Amid trees and flowers and butterflies.
Children and white-tipped sparrows.
a garden with a pulse,
where the breeze is breath
and sunlight the shine of celebration.
Yes, this place is proof of hardfought battles,
and a monument to sacrifice,
but its victory never stops breathing.
The land is forever green and growing.
And while the glory of this garden
rises from the survivors who rejoice here,
the promise of it belongs to
the mothers and daughters and sisters who might.
Seeking and Following,
Dean
You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
