Happy Victoria Day weekend! I know many of you aren’t thinking about Queen Victoria this weekend. She is long gone, having died 125 years ago in 1901. FUN FACT: We observe her birthday of May 24, 1819 and not her death of January 22, 1901. Instead of thinking about Queen Victoria, our minds are often focused on camping, gardening, and grilling. However, permit me to draw your attention to Queen Victoria’s name. Victoria is the Latin name for victory. This makes me ponder how one becomes victorious? I guess it depends on what you are trying to win or conquer. So, let’s narrow the question further to how does one become spiritually victorious? Read Exodus 17:8-16 and come this Sunday to our service to find out the answer!
