You Are Winning — Keep Moving Forward by Faith
Scripture:
"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves." — Malachi 4:2 (NIV)
Reflection:
You may not feel it right now, but you are winning because Jesus has already secured your victory. The Bible promises that the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. The word “wings” also translates as fringes — the very fringes of Jesus’ garment that the woman with the issue of blood reached for in faith (Mark 5:27-29).
That woman broke cultural and religious expectations. She pressed through the crowd, ignoring her fears, her shame, and the consequences, just to touch the edge of Jesus' robe. And in that one small but bold act of faith, her healing came. Sometimes all it takes is one courageous step forward.
Get back up again. Speak faith to yourself. Declare God's Word over your life, your home, your future. The Bible says we have the same spirit of faith — we believe, therefore we speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). Your words shape your world. Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Speak life. Speak victory. Speak hope.
Consider Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4. Faced with the impossible task of rebuilding the temple amid resistance and discouragement, he heard God's Word: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit.” God reminded him that what looked like a mountain would become a plain. The same God is speaking to you. Your obstacles will not define your outcome. His Spirit is at work.
You are winning when you keep standing in faith.
You are winning when you get back up after a setback.
You are winning when you choose God's Word over your feelings.
The Sun of Righteousness is rising over your life with healing, restoration, and joy in His wings. Keep moving forward in faith.
Reflection Questions:
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that I am not fighting for victory but from victory. When I feel weary, remind me that the Sun of Righteousness is rising with healing for me. Help me to get back up, speak words of faith, and trust Your Spirit to move mountains on my behalf. I choose to believe again. I declare Your Word over my life and step into the future You have prepared. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
- Where do I need to get back up and take a step of faith again?
- What words am I speaking over my life — are they faith-filled or fear-filled?
- What areas of my life do I need to start speaking life and God's Word over?
