October 2 - The Winning Side.

Psalm 98:1
“O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.”
 
All throughout Scripture we find reference to the “right hand” which often refers to the Lord Jesus Christ. Here we find another mention of “his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.” Jesus won the ultimate victory when, after having given up His life on Calvary, He arose victoriously after three days in the tomb. God always gets the victory!
 
1 Chronicles 29:11
“Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.”
 
He is God! Any greatness, power, glory, or victory we have is because of Him! When we exalt Him to His rightful place in our lives we can be on the winning side!
 
We find near the end of the Book of Revelation that after Satan is loosed for a little season, he will receive his ultimate fate and be cast into the place created just for him, the Lake of Fire, never to deceive men again. He knows that his time is short and he will never win in the end, so he has chosen to make havoc of the world we live in.
 
The outlook may be bleak, but the uplook is bright! Do not fret or fear today, but remind yourself that you are on the winning side!
 
He's the keeper of my soul since I gave Him full control,
And He placed me on the winning side.
Well, I am on the winning side, yes, I am on the winning side,
Out in sin no more will I abide;
I've enlisted in the fight for the cause of truth and right,
Praise the Lord, I'm on the winning side!
Hale Reever
