God Is The Reason For Our Victories...Not Us!

For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’ Deuteronomy 20:4 (ESV)
When you watch various sports on a media platform, and when an individual or a team wins, a lot of people will attribute the win to that individual or that team. As humans, we are quick to praise others whether it be sports, business deals, our looks, or overcoming illnesses, etc. But do we ever consider that truly in all victories, God is the one who should be praised?
When certain individuals, teams, and/or groups excel, we know a lot of hard work, dedication, and ingenuity, played a key part in their success. But when you really seek to go deeper, you will see that all people and their abilities were created by God, and due to His divine intervention, winning victories are the result. Of course, not looking to take away from human efforts but, it’s strongly misplaced to think only human will and determination, are what bring about the various victories we see here on Earth.
The Bible speaks through many verses throughout the Old and New Testament, where God worked numerous miracles and victories in the lives of His children. And in return, many of those who are mentioned in the Bible gave credit back to God for these blessings. And like they did in the days of old, we too should continue to give credit and praise to God for our many blessings, our victories. Now some may think, of course, everyone gives credit to God for various achievements and victories in life. But in actuality, not always. There are a lot of people (Christian believers and those who are not) who feel they are responsible for conquering a certain situation and/or achieving a victory. They may give surface platitudes to God, but deep down, they feel it was due to their hard work and tenacity that caused the outcome.
May we never forget that the entire function of our bodies and their capabilities comes from our Father in Heaven. As we go forward in life, may we always give credit back to our Creator, the source of all life, for our small and great victories.
Blessings,
Angélique 💐
