Swallowed up in victory

When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:54-58 ESV)

He has given us the victory!  Sometimes I find myself so focussed on the little details of life, that i forget  the big picture.  I read this passage tonight and was refreshed.  I know this, believe it, etc., but it hadn't been top of mind for quite some time.  What a great reminder for all Christ followers.
