Default Devotion: Giving Thanks is our Key to Victory

Giving Thanks is our Key to Victory!

Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. (Acts 16:25)

We must give God praise and thanksgiving before we see the actual victory.

When Paul and Silas were in the Philippians jail, (Acts 16:22-34), as they gave thanks and worshiped the Lord, ÔÇ£all the doors were openedÔÇØ. That is what we need, the doors opened so that we can walk into what God has for us, so we need to start and continue to give God thanks and praise for it being done until we see it happen.

Regardless of our situation, take a minute right now to thank the Lord. Thank Him for the victory we need, for the doors we need opened, and for the answers to our prayers we have been praying. Thank Him!

In 2 Chronicles 20, GodÔÇÖs people were facing an impossible situation, but something incredible happened when they began to sing and praise the Lord. In the face of an overwhelming problem, and before they saw the victory they so desperately needed, they began to thank God for the victory, as a result, God stepped in and scattered their enemies.

Remember: Your thanksgiving to God is a powerful weapon of warfare. We may have waited for a long time, but our breakthrough can be closer than we think. Even when it seems like our midnight hour has come (Acts 16:25), God can send us an earthquake of blessings when we give Him praise!

Keep the faith, keep praising God for it being done, thanking Him for His blessings and love and watch Him move on our part.

Remember, Giving Thanks is our Key to Victory!

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
