” 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”.
1John 4:4
It was Christ’s triumph at the cross that enabled John to proclaim to all who believe, you are from God, little children, and have overcome them the strength of the enemy may be great, but greater is the power of God Almighty. Greater in might, majesty, dominion and power., is the omnipotent God, who can come and reside in His people.so we can overcome the evil spirits and their power,” because, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world”
God showed me this verse when I was not confident about myself, my work and my family. He took me under His wings to protect me. He encouraged me to keep working hard. I had my belief in Him that He will give the desires of my heart. (psalms 37:4-5) in His own time. I waited patiently for a long time. But my Father remembered and gave me that perfect job at the perfect time. I am grateful for what I have today. I was the horse and was ready for a very long time, but God gave me victory at the perfect time.
” The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but safety is of the Lord”.
Proverbs 21:31
“I wait quietly before God for my victory comes from Him”.
Psalms 62:1
“Be still and know that I am God”.
Psalms46:10
To be still and rested we need to trust God as our refuge. Our primary source of confidence in our lives must be the Lord and not money, position, power, talents, fame etc. No storm can rock our boat when Jesus is in it with us. Trusting God in every aspect of our life is stillness. We are freed from the chains of fear, anxiety, hopelessness, pride and guilt. As we increase in the knowledge of God, our trust will grow, our joy, peace and hope will grow. We will humble ourselves before Him and exalt Him.
Prayer
Dear God, in the name of Jesus I pray you keep me going with your grace, love and strength. Please keep all your children who believe in you and love you, under your wings.
Amen
Sol. Aparajita
