Greater Than

I John 4:4 has some of Scripture’s most confident words:

You, dear children, are from God and have covercome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

If you follow Jesus, his Holy Spirit, literally, bodily, resides in you. You have been invaded.

And because of that that One “in you” has conquering power over the one in the world — namely, Satan and the forces of darkness.

So …

As you wrestle with cancer, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

As you struggle with temptation, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

As you despair over unemployment, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

As you fear for your family, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

As you battle against depression, the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Wake up to the one who is in you today.
