DAILY?READINGS: Deuteronomy 5; Ecclesiastes 7; Luke 8:1-21
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
The victory is already ours. Through faith, the cross of Christ has already procured for us the triumph over the world, the flesh and the devil. It would be meaningless to turn back. Our Conqueror is on the throne and always hears and intercedes for those who bear the whole armour of God. The laurels of heaven beckon. —Mark Fenn
We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender;
Thine is the battle; Thine shall be the praise;
When passing through the gates of pearly splendour,
Victors, we rest, with Thee, through endless days.
—Edith Gilling Cherry
