Today’s Thought “Over-Throwing an Enemy” G. Ward

1 John 5

⁴ For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

 

Perhaps we’ve all witnessed a schoolyard bully, to view a perceived toughness existing more in/for those feeling inadequate, than some determined to utterly conquer fear (*indicative of overcoming) and if fortitude to stand is neglected, could deliver a potential, hazardous encounter (cf. Matt.10:28). The bully for the believer is the world’s influence (on a body and soul belonging to the Almighty), and while that influence is so temporarily perceived, more acknowledging our citizenry in Heaven is required (*John 8:31-32); to thereafter – only live for substantive things embodying eternal merit (cf. 1 John 2:15-17).

I pray that HIS today for believers everywhere – unify, under HIS righteous banner and not those messages without eternal merit; for we know money and things are not eternal.
