Always Triumphant
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.”
Triumphant! not sometimes, but all the time. No matter the circumstances: poverty, persecution, distress, want, heartache, burdens, and whatever else you want to throw into this defeatist mix, we always come out triumphant. It may look like things have gotten the best of His elect, but “It ain’t over till it’s over.”
No matter how hot the battle rages, how insurmountable the odds against us, how doomed the future may appear, we are always destined to come out the winner. It is the story of every saint's life, who is in His will. Though it be the last half of the ninth inning with two outs, and us behind one-hundred to nothing, we always emerge triumphant!
This truth is not something to be felt, it is a fact to be taken by faith. It’s true whether one believes it or not, but only enjoyed when believed. I have a little saying God gave me years ago that illustrates this, “Act as though it were and you’ll experience it as it is,” (John 4:46-53). Remember, all our successes in life are to be traced back to Christ!
“Be strong and of a good courage,
Though foes thy soul assail.
No weapon formed against thee
Hath power to prevail;
For thou shalt share the triumph
Of Christ thy conquering King,
Who purposes a blessing
Through all thy buffeting.”
(A.B. Christiansen)
