A Contest Already Won

He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for a time, times, and half a time.  Daniel 7:25

Yes, the days of this life come when the saints are easily worn out, but we play a match that is already decided and we cannot lose in Christ our Lord. The powers of this present darkness may send one who will think to change the times, but this day and this hour, no matter how difficult, cannot return and each hour and day is one period of time closer to our meeting the Lord Jesus Christ. The laws may change until one cannot but fall afoul of them doing the necessary tasks of this life, and yet, the day the change is made does not return and the Lord's return is one day closer. And we have His assurance in John 16:33 that He has already overcome the world. We put on the armor and fight the battle in Christ, but the outcome is not in doubt. We do but wait for that blessed day and hour when our Lord shall snatch all of His own from the world.

Rejoice in Christ, His victory is certain!
