(1 Corinthians 15:27, NIV)
For he “has put everything under his feet.”
Gr. hupotasso, "to arrange under," "to subject," "to subordinate." "to subdue," The Scriptures confidently give the assurance that nothing, not even death, will be excluded from total subjugation by Christ.
How we see our difficulties very often will determine whether or not we get out of them. When you face challenges and things come against you, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and start thinking, This is never going to work out. I’ll just have to learn to live with it. That kind of thinking not only pushes you down, but it stops God from working. It’s going to attract fear, worry, and doubt. Many people settle for mediocrity. You have to change your perspective. “If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” — William Blake.
If you’re going to live in victory, you have to see every sickness, every obstacle, and every temptation as being under your feet. It’s no match for you. It’s not going to keep you from your destiny. It’s already defeated. It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. Epictetus. God is going to use it as a stepping stone to take you higher to your victorious milestone. “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Wayne Dyer. Friends, It’s just a matter of time before you break through to a new level.
“Father, thank You that Your Word says that You have put all things—every sickness, obstacle, and temptation—under my feet. Thank You that I don’t have to just learn to live with it or put up with it. I declare that all of these challenges are under my feet. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
