We always have the victory in Christ, always. Paul said that God delivered him from out of every situation of trouble he faced. So what does it mean to have the victory? It is not measured by the flesh. It is measured by the spirit. God makes it possible for us to be at peace, knowing that He is in charge. He makes it possible for us to be satisfied. And He makes it possible for us to have hope. We expect the Lord to return; or to go be with Him if we die before He returns. God gives us this ability to just let go.
