Victory given by Christ

“Through the victories You give, may Christ’s glory be great!” Psalm 21:5

Verse Reflections:  As usual, Your verses are stringing together perfectly.  Yesterday we talked about claiming the joy of the victory.  Today You are telling us that we should take this victory and give Christ the glory.  That is exactly what I want to do.  I want to lose the extra weight and shout from the top of the mountain that I did it with Your power, because of Your power.  I want to glorify You with this victory over a battle I have fought for decades.  I want to rise above the stronghold food has on me and accept the victory You have promised me.  Yes!!  I am there psychologically now.  So often, I have wanted food more than I want victory.  No more!! I want the victory.  I want to claim Your victory and shout the glory to You.  I have proven over and over that I do not have the strength to say no to sugar, butter, flour, carbohydrates.  You are the only source.  You are the only way that I can win the battle.  Only those who fight the same battle can understand how intense it is.  Only those that have fought the same battle know that we cannot take credit for winning.  We must give You the glory.  May Your glory be great.  I want these devotions Lord to change lives as they are changing my life.  You will receive all glory for this victory.  I am ready to be victorious.  I see a t-shirt that says “may Christ’s glory be great”!   Maybe that should be a subtitle for this book or website of devotions.  I want to lose my forty pounds+ and have everyone ask me how I did it.  I want to hand them a card that says “God Plus One”.  I want them to see that You get the glory for my healthy choices.  I want to pass on this beautiful book of verses You have led me to and let them also claim victory and give You the glory.

Prayer:  I am ready God.  I am ready to claim victory and be victorious.  I am ready to glorify You.  I am ready to shout, “May Your glory be great”.  God, You are the only way I can be successful and I know that I can be victorious with Your support and power.  I also know that all my vain friends will ask me how I did it.  I am ready to give You full credit.  I am ready to publish these devotions and give You the glory.  May your glory shine in dark corners all over the world.  It is changing my world Father.  You are victorious.  If You can change my eating habits, the stronghold food has on me, You can change anyone.  I will have to give You the amazing glory.  For me, for my life, Your glory will be great even if not one other person gains from these reflections.  I praise You in my own little corner for the power of Your word.  You have shone light into my darkness.  You have overcome the power of my battle with food.  May Your glory be great.  May just my one single shout of praise for the victory in my one single solitary life be a ray of sunshine in Your heavens today.  I’d like to glorify You right here, right now.  May this single solitary life You have changed, the victory You have given to me, give You great glory.  I cannot thank You enough!  Today I want God food.  That is a miracle.  That is an impossible victory in my tiny, unimportant, yet magnificent child of God life.  I love You.  I am humbled.  I am victorious because of You.  May Your glory be great.
