Remember Your Victories

But I thank God, who always leads us in victory because of Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:14 (GWT)

Memory is an awesome gift that God has given us.

Interestingly, most people tend to spend more time remembering

their failures and hurts than their victories.

In the Old Testament, it was common for people to lay out 'memorial stones.'

These stones were used to remind the people about the good things God did in their lives.

We need to remind ourselves today to focus on our victories.

We have all suffered our share of setbacks,

but when we meditate on our disappointments and failures,

all this does is sap us of valuable energy.

Dwelling on the negative robs us of confidence and joy.

When we focus on our victories,

we build our strength and confidence.

Remembering past victories fuels our faith.

It gives us a reason to praise God

and praise catches God's attention!

He inhabits the praises of His people,

and when God shows up, all of His enemies must flee!

When you think about your past,

what events do you remember?

What memories do you allow to play over and over in your mind?

Make it your practice to remember your victories.

Meditate on the good things God has done for you.

As you do this, you'll see Him opening up

supernatural doors for you to move forward

in the abundant life He has for you!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
