Winning The Race
"What is this confidence that you have? We trust in the Lord our God..." - 2 Kings 18:19,22
During the filming of the old classic movie, Ben Hur, Charleton Heston had a terrible time learning to drive the chariot. When it came time to film the key sequence of the chariot race, Heston told the director, "I think I can drive the chariot, but I don't think I can win the race." The director replied, "You just drive, and I'll see to it that you win."
Wouldn't it be great if we could be assured of victory in life? Wouldn't you like to know that, even though the circumstances don't always seem to be in our favor, the ultimate outcome would be positive?
I have good news for you. This principle does hold true. Those who place their trust in Jesus Christ, who seek to follow His guidance and direction for living, can be sure of ultimate victory through eternal life. Live life God's way. He assures the victory.

AWESOME Devotion! It's exactly what I needed to hear right now. - Angela
What gets me is the fact that we already know we are winners, then why don't we start celebrating and worship the Lord and thank him for this victory? He said his Father wants to give us the best that heaven has to offer. It amazes me how a poor down trodden boy can kneel on his knees and ask the Lord into his heart, can become a member of a holy royal family. I don't understand it but I am glad he did it for me. God Bless and have a great day. - Jerry
When I read these devotions I find I am always so much in agreement with what they have to say. It is a blessing to have a place where my faith in God and Jesus is affirmed daily. God has eternal victory and He also has a multitude of daily victories when people focus on Him through devotions like these. All glory, honor and praise to God! - Janice
What a terrific devotion! Some days, like today, it seems like I'm just spinning my wheels, and getting no where. Things I have worked so hard on seem to be useless and fruitless. Isn't it great that we have the ultimate Director? He can take our pitiful efforts and work them toward His victory. - marti mastbrook
