God is my Victory

Evil will not prevail. This is what has brought me comfort in the last few days. Bad things happen to good people, period. However, it will not be the last word.
I have been repeating Isaiah 54:17 which states “No weapon forged against you will prevail.” This is what comforts me, what makes me want to keep going and put up a fight. To praise God despite my circumstances. I feel like Satan would love to prevail in our situation, he would love to have a hold on me but he won’t. Why? Because my Jesus died and in Matthew 28:5 “He was not in the tomb, he had risen, just as he said.” He defeated death, He defeated Evil, it will not prevail.

I am also reminded in Romans 8 that I am a child of God, an heir and co-heir of Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings we will share in his Glory. Again, Evil will not prevail. In the end it will be His glory that floods this earth and we will not suffer pain, tears and hurt once we are with Him. I know I posted this song a while back but I have been listening to it as it repeats these same truths. It is one of the only worship songs I can sing right now.

I will bring praise,
I will bring praise,
No weapon formed against me shall remain,
I will rejoice, I will declare,
God is my victory and He is here,


This is my prayer in the battle,
When triumph is still on its way,
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ,
So firm on his promise I'll stand,


So today I sing these words b/c my God is a God who is Mighty to save. (Zeph 3:17) I will sing the rest of the song below because of Psalm 56:13 “For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.”

All of my life, in every season,
You are still God,
I have a reason to sing,
I have a reason to worship
