On June 6 1944, the Allied forces landed in
Normandy the coastline of France.
It remains to this day, the largest amphibious operation in history.
It was a strategic assault geared towards liberating continental Europe from the
claws of Nazi Germany.
The US Army forcefully landed on the beach under heavy German firepower; the
casualties were enormous.
One soldier looking around him reported to the military high command that an
Allied defeat was inevitable.
A reconnaissance aircraft flying high above the warzone scanned the entire
horizon. He saw the massive Allies’ reinforcement
In the sea, the diminishing German military capabilities and the fragmented Nazi
supply lines due to Allied air superiority.
He smiled and reported to the high command that the Allies will carry the day.
The US soldier is like most of us. We tend to be overwhelmed by adversity that
we do not see the vastness of God’s extravagance around us.
We are beclouded by the immediate and fading pain of our circumstances that we
do not see the ultimate and growing gain of God’s promises.
But if we take our position in the heavenly places and see things from God’s
perspective, our conclusion and response would be productive.
Whatever our tribulation might be at this moment, it is working out for our good
in ways we do not know. We only need to look up
To God for fresh insight by an unremitting study of The Bible. Our present
challenge is not the end of the road; the final outcome has
Been irrevocably predetermined by God in His word and this can NOT be changed.
“Our light and momentary afflictions are working for us an everlasting weight of
glory that far exceeds them all.” 2 Cor 4:17
There is no other option; it is either we win or we win!!!
