BUT GOD IS GREATER
“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
1 John 4:4
The world is facing problems that the “ power of positive thinking” can’t touch—serious evil like the corruption of government, the ominous influence of organized traffickers, the pernicious threat of terrorism, the breakup of marriages and families, and widespread chemical abuse. All of this evil appears to have taken hold of our world, never to let go. But God’s power is “greater than the one who is in the world,” and God lives in you.
The opposition you encounter in everyday life—and especially when you consciously serve God in all that you do—is an invitation to focus your mind and heart on our omnipotent, trustworthy God and pray to Him. Other Christians, your family in faith, can join in, too, to multiply those prayers. There is power in prayer—God’s power—which is stronger than any and all opposition.
Consider a time when you faced opposition…and your trustworthy God came through for you. The opposition may have been great, but God was greater—and that still holds true today. Even if the almighty God encounters opposition to His goals, it doesn’t keep him from reaching those goals. He is in you, and He will empower you to pray against and overcome the one who is in the world.
God, I find such comfort in the truth that You are greater than any opposition that can arise. You are unbeatable, Lord!
