Victory In Jesus

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” – Romans 8:37
 
There are days when you don’t feel victorious. Days when you wake up already tired, weighed down by the things that didn’t change overnight. Maybe your prayers still seem unanswered. Maybe your strength feels spent before the day begins. And in moments like that, it’s easy to wonder how you could possibly be more than a conqueror like Paul wrote in Romans 8.
 
But that’s where we often miss it. Victory is not about your feelings. It’s not about whether you woke up confident or shaky. It’s not measured by the size of your faith or how well you held it all together this week. Victory is a Person. It is Jesus. And it’s His presence, not your performance, that secures your identity.
 
When Paul wrote those words, he wasn’t talking about a life free of struggle. He listed the very things that make us feel weak: Tribulation, distress, persecution, hunger, danger. But he did not deny them. He reminded us that in all those things, not in the absence of them, we are more than conquerors. Why? Because of Jesus. Because of His love. Because of His grip on us.
 
If you’re in Him, then the victory has already been decided. It may not feel like it today. But your security doesn’t rise and fall with how you feel. It’s anchored in the One who loved you enough to die for you, and powerful enough to raise you with Him.
 
So lift your head. You are not losing. You are loved. You are held. And the One holding you has never lost a battle.
