The Victorious

One with God is in the majority, we are often told. Our God is the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. Whatever He starts, He will bring to a glorious conclusion. So when we become His, He will use whatever gift we have to make us victorious in life. 

Paul’s dedication to Judaism had caused him to become an enemy of Christianity. But God took him on board and used this dedication to enhance the cause of Christ. So as Paul discussed his trip to Macedonia in 2Corinthians vs. 2, he began to thank God who had turned his life around and made his ministry and his relationship with his converts a success. God really causes us to triumph in Christ despite our shortcomings and weakness. 

Joel Osteen told a story of a young boy who desired to be a pianist but has some limitation. Nevertheless, he refused to submit to any form of discouragement. He practiced the song he loved as if his life depended on it. A day came his father took him to a concert to watch his hero perform. After they walked into the hall, the young boy saw a piano behind the curtain and sneaked over to it. 

He began to play his favorite song without knowing the audience was hearing him loud and clear. As the curtain parted he tried to run off but two big hands caught him, whispering to his ears that he goes on. He became part of the concert that night because the Master pianist accepted his simple contribution. When you get the Master involved, He will cause you to triumph over your limitation.
