A reminder for
today
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
We did a trail run this morning and I must say it was
awesome. With a broken toe I did it in a good time. When we started I was
contemplating whether I should run or walk, but as we started I just went for
it. My foot held nicely, but with some of those steep downs and ups I could
feel the pain. What was nice is for sections I was running alone and just
taking in the surrounds and nature. These are the moments in life that I feel
so close to God. When I defy the odds and I pass my limitations I can feel
God’s hand firm and strong as He keeps me going.
I love this verse. You see when we are showered with burdens
and challenges we often forget that we worship the creator of heaven and earth.
Greater is He – I want to go as far and say I should write that on my wall. I should
make it part of my morning routine. I should remind myself of this every moment
of every day.
Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in this world. When
the challenges are to much and the storms exploding all around you. When you
feel there is no more left of you and you are tired, look at the enemy as he
tries to pull you down and remind him who is in you. It is in these difficult
times that we are lifted and renewed by the power of an almighty God.
This world will hate us, but we are not of this world. This
world will persecute us, but we have nothing that we need from this world. This
world will try and destroy us, but we are not focussed on this world, we are
focussed on the life that awaits us. If the world hates you, remember that it
hated Jesus first.
You have a great and powerful force that is in you. Do not be
misled by the lies of the enemy, but instead stand strong and be courageous. Let
the light of our Lord be your guide and let His words be your compass. Let His
love shine through you and let His ways be your ways.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
