Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea. — Exod 15:1 BSB

Beloved, God calls us to victory. Have any of you given up the fight? Have you surrendered and said, “This is too much for me”? Have you thought, “I can give up anything but this one thing”? If so, you’re not living in the fullness of God’s promise. God intends for you to accept every challenge that comes your way. He started with you, fully aware of all the difficulties you would face. And if you let Him, He will carry you through—not just to conquer but to be more than conquerors. Are you expecting full victory?

God gives His children strength for the battle and watches over them with deep affection. He longs to draw you close and say, “I have seen your struggle, I have watched your trials, I have rejoiced in your victory; you have honored Me.” Remember, He told Joshua at the start, “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never fail you nor forsake you.” And again, He tells us, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.”
