Matthew 12:20 says:
"A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out, till He leads justice to victory."
Do you have a situation in your life that has you feeling like smoldering wick--just about totally burnt out--with little hope for the future?
Take heart, my friend. The latter part of Matthew 12:20 has a promise for you. It says "till he leads justice to victory." I have often thought that the promises from God's word don't feel like promises until we are in a position to take him up on them. Are you needing victory after a long and painful battle? Take God up on the promise of Matthew 12:20.
It has been my experience (and the experience of many saints before me) that God swoops in at the last possible moment, just before that reed would break or that wick loses the last of its warmth, to provide victory in our battle. In doing so, the Lord adds another chapter to His legend and gains even more glory. He gets the victory, but we get to share in it. Thanks be to God for causing us to triumph.
