Romans 8:28 NLT - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

First, you are wired for winning.
Second, you are destined for winning.
Third, your winning will be on his terms with his help.

There is a major quality of winning known as endurance.
Luke 21:19 - By your endurance you will gain your lives.

Endurance= steadfastness, constancy, perseverance, sustaining, patient enduring. In the NT the characteristic of a man who is not swerved from his deliberate purpose and his loyalty to faith and devotion to God even by the greatest trials and sufferings.

Psalm 136:1: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Two things that endure:
1. God’s steadfast love and
2. You when you are connected to his steadfast love through Christ.

1 Corinthians 13:7 - Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Isaiah 43:2 - When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

1 Peter 5:6 - Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

1 Peter 5:10 - And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

God has plans to promote you.

A Winner inquires of the Lord
Psalm 42:1-2 - As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

Psalm 63:1-2 - O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

Psalm 27:8 - You have said, “Seek my face. ”My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”

A valley is a low point. A valley is a low point in your heart, a low point in your body, your relationships, or your finances. A low point is where mistakes are made. A low point is where the carnal nature looks for momentary relief.

GOD MAKES YOUR LOW POINT A PLACE WHERE HE BREAKS THROUGH FOR YOU. YOU RENAME YOUR VALLEY THE PLACE GOD BROKE THROUGH FOR YOU.
