On the Winning Side
On the Winning Side
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Joshua 1:8 ESV
The bible teaches that being on the winning side means trusting in God and following his lead. Victory comes from God’s Devine intervention. It is truly nothing but God’s grace and mercy. Scripture reveals to us that the power of God’s will was upon Moses, who answered Gods call and brought the children of Isreal out of Egypt. Job a wealthy man, went through some hard times, losing his children, and all that he had. But he had those who cared for him come sit with him, they were his support system. In the end Job was blessed with more than he had to begin with. Boy David had no fear, for he put his trust in God, as he met the giant through God’s power of a sling shot and stones. The three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, took on the fiery that furnace, but the word said the fourth man appeared like the Son of Man. For what is impossible with man, is indeed possible with God.
God’s grace in my life has open doors that man could not close. He took the chains of depression, fear, and anxiety off my ankles, and wrist. His love lifted me. He was that shoulder I could cry on; he was that listening ear that was open to me to talk, even in the midnight hour y’all when it got heavy, he assured me I was safe in his arms. And when I couldn’t walk, he carried me, His child.
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a hero’s welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I’m meant to be
I’ll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I’ll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow, I’ll see it through
And I won’t look back
I can go the distance
And I’ll stay on track
No, I won’t accept defeat
It’s an uphill slope
But I won’t lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero’s strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don’t care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s welcome
Waiting in your arms…
I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero’s welcome
Waiting in your arms…
