When You've Lost, You Win

Psalm 68:4 “They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies, wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away”

In 2017, at a Champions Dinner at the Masters Tournament, the great golfer Tiger Woods famously said to Hall of Fame golfer Gary Player, “My playing days are probably over”. After years of surgeries, and most recently a back surgery that left him so weak he could barely get out of bed, it looked like Tiger had finally lost. Until 2019, when Tiger made a miraculous comeback and won the Masters at age 43.

Perhaps you lost something very precious, followed by years of depression, sickness, a series of failures, and regret. Maybe you’re at a place where your saying “it’s over for me”. Did you know that as a believer you can win, even when you lose? Whatever you’ve lost, you don’t have to live in defeat. I want you to know it’s NOT over, God’s powerful restoration is on the way!

God is ready and willing to turn things around for you. Despite your losses you can expect a bright future when you look to the Lord for restoration. No matter what you’ve been through, at the cross Jesus purchased and restored everything you’ve lost with His blood. He restores years (Joel 2:25), He restores health (Jeremiah 30:17), and Psalm 68:4 says, “He restores that which He took not away”. Praise God that even when you’ve lost, you win!
