Day 17 "You Wear The Victor's Crown"
Sweet Victory In Jesus
Good Morning Beauties!
I’m traveling this morning and will be on a plane when I typically sit down and spend time with God and journal. Here is what I wrote on Day 17 a few journeys ago. I pray you will be blessed.
Victor, Victory, Victorious. What do these words mean to you? If you are a victor, have won the victory, and are living a victorious life, what does that look like? Success? Power? Ease? Or does it look like Perseverance? Trust through Trials? Faith through Fear? Can it be Both? Does it look like the life you are living now or the life you want to live? Selah.
Sometimes our view of a victorious life is like the one the disciples expected from their Messiah. A mighty and strong warrior who would overthrow the Roman army, but that wasn't the case. Jesus arrived on earth in humility and won the True victory, as He wore a crown of thorns and died on the cross. By overcoming the grave, He defeated, once and for all, sin and death, so we may live a victorious life here on Earth and in Heaven for eternity.
Jesus was our perfect example of Victory and is the ultimate wearer of the Victor's Crown. Let's learn from Him. The Bible teaches us in Hebrews 12:1-2. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles; and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
What does your Victor's Crown look like? Why not take a few minutes and draw it on today's page while you listen to this song...

“Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
