Devotional Thoughts Zephaniah 8:17: The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory. Recently I have heard two ser mons stressing the same central theme “God is not defeated.” The topic of one of these sermons was “The Illusion of Defeat.” There is “an illusion of defeat” among so many people of our day and we need to feel deep down within us that “God is not defeated.” All through the ages there has been among people an illusion of defeat. But there has always been the same reason for that il lusion. Whenever man has come to the conclusion that he is self- sufficient and that he has no need of God, he has soon thereafter felt the results of that conclusion, and has then often blamed God for God’s failure. Man’s illusion of defeat can only be dissolved by an acceptance of two simple facts. First, man is defeated. A people smart enough to measure the dis tance to the stars, to measure the speed of light, even smart enough to smash the atom—this same people is so dumb that it cannot find a way to avoid spending fifty billion dollars each year on materials designed to destroy man kind. Man is defeated. Second, God is not defeated. The things God planned, the laws He made still o.^erate in His world as they have d ^ le ’^hrough the ages. When uau f- lews God’s will, he prospers. When he fol lows man s wav, he suLcrs. God is “a warrior r'^ho gives victory.” Rev. Robert IT.
