Have you noticed it seems everyone is being shaken in some way…financially, physically, relationally, and/or spiritually? When we are being tested it’s easy to focus on the obvious pain instead of the not so obvious victory. Not so obvious because the enemy we face (in whatever area) will not reveal to us what the Bible tells us—their triumph is short-lived and more than that the grief they are causing us is only revealing a GREATER GLORY FOR US THAT OUTSHINES THEM ALL (check out 2 Cor. 4:17).
Faith, in the midst of the storm, is seeing that which is true but easily missed… that God is greater…that God is in you…and “Greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). What if we saw all the trials simply as a way for God to “show off” as being “greater in you” than all your enemies? Another way to look at it is like this—Satan is defeated…and in the meantime…until he is thrown in the lake of fire…we are the daily object lessons (remember Job) showing all heaven and hell that God is greater in us…and that we will not curse God…that we will stand…and in the end we will know our God in a way we’ve never known Him before. Satan, who was trying to steal, kill and destroy us—becomes the tool leading us into deeper fellowship, intimacy, faith, love and joy in God. That dummy!
It’s all working for our good…hope is here…His name is Jesus…and He’s inside you to bring hope up right now!
