Today's word takes inspiration from
the 44th Psalm, verse 4
"You are my king, O God! Decree Jacob’s deliverance!"

Here is no foe to your growth in grace, no enemy in your Christian work, which was not included in your Savior’s conquests.

As God said to Joshua: You need not be afraid of them. When you touch them, they will flee before you. I have promised to deliver them up before you. Only be strong and courageous! Fear not, nor be dismayed! The Lord is with you, O mighty men of valor — you are mighty because you are one with the Mightiest. Claim victory!

Whenever your enemies close in upon you, claim victory! Whenever heart and flesh fail, look up and claim VICTORY!

Be sure that you have a share in that triumph which Jesus won, not for Himself alone, but for us all; remember that you were in Him when He won it, and claim victory!

Count Christ's victory as yours, and gather the spoil. Neither the giants nor the walled cities need intimidate or defeat you. You are one of the conquering legion. Claim your share in the Savior’s victory.

We are children of the King. In which way do we most honor our Divine Sovereign? By failing to claim our rights and even doubting whether they belong to us, or by asserting our privilege as children of the Royal Family and demanding the rights which belong to our heirs?
