A Big Deal

This  Retro American Doll play set is understandably a Big Deal, in more than one way. First of all, Ashley's mom had been trying to find a good price on this set because Ashley really wanted it. That is  why it was a big deal for Ashley, because she wanted it so badly.  It was a Big Deal to her mom because, she actually found a deal on it. I need to hear her tell the story again.  She got a fantastic  price. I believe they had the wrong price on it or something like that. Because of that, Chelle did not wait until Ashley wasn't with her, she just swept that  box up and paid f or it in front of Ashley.

I call that a victory. But there is a greater victory. James Chilton wrote about that today:


Victory Knows Three Words
By James Chilton on Apr 13, 2015 12:00 am
 

“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, 

because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is 

in the world” (I John 4:4, NIV).

Jesus won!  And He lives in us!  I Corinthians 15:47-58 clearly says 

we have been given the victory in Christ.

Victory knows three words:

Challenge.  We will be hit by the enemy.  The evil one challenges 

us because he wants us to forget that we have authority in Christ.  

In Christ we accept this challenge because we know the outcome.

Choice.  We will have to make a choice when challenged.  The 

devil will always try to convince us that we don’t have options.  A 

believer must make the choice of a victor.

Change.  When we make the choice of a victor, we will experience 

change.  We feel more confident because we are allowing Christ to 

be in control.

Embracing these three concepts will remind us that Someone is living 

inside us right now, and He’s greater than anything the evil one can 

throw in our path.
