A famous saying goes, “There is no room for second place.” It’s interesting because many have only ever known second place. They have become used to a life of loss, disappointment, and failure, and they forget that God is not a loser. Let us remember who God is:

“I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me.” Isaiah 45: 5

God is a winner, and those who serve Him must also embrace the life of winners. Perhaps you have only known loss. Losing opportunities, relationships, strength, sleep, good health, and much more has become common to you.

Pick yourself up. When God is with you, you won’t lose. God does not accept being in second place. The verse says that there is no God besides Him. If your Father in Heaven does not accept to lose, neither should you.

You are a winner.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
