1 John 5:4
Today's Scripture
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
1 John 5:4
No matter how got-it-together someone appears on the outside, every person is walking through, climbing over or tunneling under some sort of adversity. We’ve all got something!
Can we dare to believe that the something we all have is absolutely no match for the Someone we know? What if the greatness of Him inside of us is mightier than everything happening around us?
We have Someone! And when we get our heads, hearts, and lives wrapped around that truth, we walk on a whole other plane. When the world watches us navigate our way through the difficult days, trying our best to honor God, to worship Jesus through the struggle…our faith draws people to Jesus.
What we do with the circumstances we are given – how we talk about them, act because of them, trust or distrust God through them – influences others. Let others see Jesus at work in our trials. When they catch a glimpse of Him in us, they know that they are not alone either.
He has given us Himself for the forgiveness of our sins, for freedom. He has made us His family to encourage, motivate, and make a difference for one another. He has given us a commission and the power to reach others who have all got something. We have Someone!
Blessing
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May the Someone inside of you overcome the something all around you. He has made you more than a conqueror!
