Victory does not come from ourselves. It comes from the Lord. It is His gift to us. We must never forget the words of the Apostle Paul: "Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57). We are called to walk in the pathway of victory. In 1 Corinthians 10:13,Paul tells us that, when temptation comes our way, God provides "the way of escape." Jesus is "the way." He is the true and living way (John 14:6). We look to Him. He leads us in the pathway of His victory. We take our eyes off Him, and we are dragged down into our own defeat. "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus" (Hebrews 12:1-2).
