John 20:31 : "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
The distance between preferred outcome and actual outcome is equal to the power of believing. But the purpose of believing is that we might have life "with His name on it."
All of our activities, dreams and desires should be linked to our new life in Christ. In Him we find purpose and meaning. All of our trophy's, education, accolades and victorys are the result living the life He has purposed for us to live.
Isn't it awesome to say "Praise God" after the impossible has been realized? Isn't it freeing to know that God has all of our problems resolved and that we just have to "believe it" through? Is your tomorrow greater than your yesterday? It should be. Your today should be living in light of the great expectation that greater things are still to be done in Jesus name.
But look at our reference point for life in verse 31: "These thing have been written..". The Bible gives us a written record of how God intervened on our behalf by sending us His Son Jesus. The record states clearly the promises, power and awesomeness of what God can do in the lives of ordinary people like ourselves.
Don't walk in defeat, walk in victory today! Stay true to the Word of God and read it, stand on it and believe it for God's greater glory.
