A Book Of Remembrance: Wisdom From The AgesSample

“Please understand that we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.”

-Queen Victoria-

Queen Victoria was a genuine example of faith, resilience, and an unshakeable fortitude in the face of whatever life threw at her, as is evident from the amazing quote we have in front of us this day. To her, victory was the only option, and defeat was not even in her vocabulary. What an amazing way to live!

We, as Christians, have access to that same frame of mind, as we can see in today’s Bible verse. Yes, we will have trials and tribulations in this world, but Jesus has already claimed the victory for us! Failure is not in his vocabulary, and neither should it be in ours. All that is required of us is that we follow Him up the path of victory, in complete and humble submission to His word, and we too will have overcome the world.

So, for today, let us have the same rock-solid faith that Queen Victoria exhibited throughout her life. Let us rely in the sure words that Jesus spoke to us in today’s verse, and others like it. (2 Peter 1:19) Let us strive to be more Christ-like every day of our lives and claim a new victory daily, whether it be over a bad habit, a bitter attitude, or a wrong way of thinking. Let us have peace, and take heart, for our Savior has already won the war of life.
