David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 14th July 2021 Message
All parents want their children to learn that inner strength can overcome life’s external obstacles. With perseverance, determination, faith, and patience, life’s challenges can be overcome. It is a truism rather than an absolute truth: What is on the inside is more powerful than what is on the outside.
But when it comes to spiritual challenges, we have an absolute truth at work: God in us is greater than Satan who is in the world. The apostle John tells us something that sometimes surprises Christians when they read it: “The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19)—meaning Satan influences and has a measure of power over the world. But John also tells us, “[God] who is in you is greater than [Satan] who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). We have read the final chapter; we are on the winning side in all things.
Never forget: Our God is greater than the one who pretends to be the ruler of this world.
What greater encouragement can a man have to fight against his enemy, than when he is sure of the victory before he fights, of final victory! – Richard Sibbes
