THE WINNER'S CIRCLE
Today's reading: Isaiah 51-55
"...Your enemies will always be defeated because I am on your side." Isaiah 54:15 NLT
Have you ever watched as a NASCAR driver, or a jockey on a fine steed, or a basketball team who has just won a championship, stands in a winner's circle?
Usually they are ecstatic from the win, exhausted from the race or game itself and emotionally spent from the hours it took in training, trying and testing their abilities.
But they were always standing as victors! As winners! As accomplished veterans!
So, are we, brothers and sisters!
We, because of God's love for us, stand in the winner's circle.
Our enemy stands outside that circle, luring us, taunting us, waiting for us to step outside the circle of God's presence, blessing, obedience and trust.
Stand.
Just stand in the winner's circle.
Enjoy all the peace. Rest from what all it took to get you there. Trust that God will keep you there.
