Season of So Many Lessons
We are well into the season of Lent…when God’s people begin looking toward the cross. The place where God’s people first realized true victory. The place where Jesus Christ defeated death so that we could all have eternal life.
The shed blood of Jesus, made us pure in God’s sight so that He no longer sees our sin. What Jesus did forever cleansed us so that we could be reconciled back to God. I thank God for that, because even though we may not be able to see it right now, we have the promise in His word that victory belongs to us. In 2 Corinthians 2:1 it says, “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. Wherever we go, we carry Him with us. We don’t go to meet Him there–we actually bring Him.
The enemy will try to lead us to believe differently, but the people of God know the truth. Everything that happens in and around us has its purpose. God designed it that way. God’s word says that His people will always triumph. No matter what happens…we will be victorious! And for that, we owe Him everything.
If nothing else, this season has taught me a lot of lessons. I have learned to rely on God in ways I never thought possible. I have learned that He will be with me through everything I go through, and He will love me even when I don’t love myself. Most importantly, I have learned that God always has a plan, that nothing ever surprises Him, and that He is always in control.
Until next time…
Be blessed
