Tonight I texted a sister in Christ asking her if how's her time with the Lord the whole day. She replied that her day was Victorious and the Lord led her to read Titus 3. I was really in awe of God as I read the passage because truly if we just depend fully in Jesus, He will really guide us through the Holy Spirit of how to overcome our own Goliaths everyday. For the past days, I know that my sister in Christ has her Goliaths to overcome but as soon as she identified and be truly obedient in the Lord she became an overcomer in Christ and a Victorious one.
God Put Our Lives Together is the title of Titus 3, The Message Version. Let me share to you the passage. "Remind the people to respect the government and be law-abiding, always ready to lend a helping hand. No insults, no fights. God's people should be bighearted and courteous. It wasn't so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, dupes of sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back. But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come-an eternity of life! You can count on this. I want you to put your foot down. Take a firm stand on these matters so that those who have put their trust in God will concentrate on the essentials that are good for everyone. Stay away from mindless, pointless quarelling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere..........."
I know the Goliaths that my sister experienced for the past few days and I can truly say that God is great and perfect in all His ways. If we can just give up all the unnecessary baggages and give our ALL for God, we will always be victorious everyday of our lives even if we are in this world.
