《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Forty-Seven

Day Forty-Seven.
Verses: "'I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.'"
Psalm 44:6-8
I love the verses above because it talks about when though they were fighting a battle with a sword, it was not the sword's strength that gave them the victory: it was God.
I was reading a quote the other day that said: "Sometimes God puts you into a battle empty handed so when you do get the victory, you know it was God and not yourself."
When my book: "Jesus Saves Daily Devotions" was first accepted to being published, I got a big head by it. I was so proud of myself and how I wrote the book. God had to have a come to Jesus with me because it wasn't me who wrote the book to begin with, it was God. God gave me those words to write. It was God, not myself.
Let me repeat that: it was God, not myself.
I believe in the day and age we are living in, we can all get a big head. We can easily get caught up in believing we got the victory for ourselves, and by ourselves. When that's not what happens at all, God gives us the victory. God give us the strength to fight that battle and win. The sword didn't win the battle, we didn't win the battle: God did. Without God, we would have no victory.
Without God, we would have no victory.
But thankfully, we do have God. So we do get the victory! But you, didn't do it by yourself. You can't take all the credit. It was GOD who gave you that victory. It is GOD who you need to praise and thank for your victory. It was not YOU! Sure, you did have a part in it, but God is the reason why you had the victory.

It was God, not you.
I think it's sad that we live in a day and age where God is not getting any praise and thanks. I believe that we can change that. We can change that for praising and thanking God for every victory we have. We can praise and thank God for always loving us, being there for us, and for helping us. God is so good and I believe we need to remember that.
God is good even when life isn't.
The weather changes, people change, but God is never changing. He stays the same. In all times, God is good. (Romans 12:2)
Let's be thankful and grateful for God! Let's praise God for every victory we have!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I just want to thank you for every victory I have. I know it was not me who won the battle but it was you. I thank you Lord! I praise you Lord because you are so good even when life isn't. I pray that you grab my hand and stay close by my side. I can't do life without you Lord. I need you. I love you. I thank you!
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

MCU Oneshots and Novellas
My back catalogue of shorter MCU fanfiction. Most are focused on Loki, Thor and Odin, but the other Avengers also show up on occasion. 1. Shadows of the Past Yet Loom:Thor thought he had grown out of his childhood stutter long ago, but to his distress, the speech impediment resurfaces shortly after he's crowned as king of Asgard. Loki tries to cheer Thor up. [set between Ragnarok and Infinity War] 2. Another Sleepless Night Thor has brought Loki back to Asgard and Odin has pronounced his sentence – Loki is to spend the rest of his days in the dungeons. That was supposed to be the end of the matter, yet sleep continues to elude Odin. One night, he makes a covert trip down to Loki’s cell. 3. Truths, Lies and Bilgesnipes There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger. To Odin's consternation, the two young princes of Asgard are not that kind of children. With Frigga absent and Odin distracted with the minutia of government, Thor and Loki sneak out of the palace on a bilgesnipe hunt. Their short adventure leaves Loki badly injured. But the physical injury is not as potent a force as the secrets Odin is determined to protect or Loki’s desperate need to live up to his father’s expectations. 4. Dear Mr. Thanos The trouble with the universe is that it doesn't want to be balanced. In fact, it requires regular pruning. In the year 2327 the Infinity War is a distant memory and Ariadne Thornton has some questions for the dark spectre that has haunted the universe for the past three hundred years. [post Infinity War, not Endgame compliant] 5. Not A Place But A People For a time, dreams of peace and safety can sustain a people lost in the wilderness. But soon the reality of the situation sinks in – a ship not provisioned for the number of people on board, a culture on the verge of extinction and a shadow spreading further with every passing day. [post Thor: Ragnarok, not Infinity War compliant]
