A common theme today is that people are just bone-tired of chaos, both public and private. It’s exhausting sometimes dealing with bad relationships. Global problems are with us every day. We wonder when it will end. 

There is Good News for you, though. Literally Good News.

1 John 5:4 says, “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

This is a message to us that we don’t have to win the war ourselves. We don’t have to win a battle. Don’t have to take part even in a skirmish. Jesus has overcome it all. If you wonder how this can play out in practical terms, do this:

Read this verse several times. Make the choice to believe it’s true. Then just literally sit back and close your eyes for a little while and rest in the truth of God’s Word.

He is telling us that our faith overcomes all setbacks and difficulties. Our faith. Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for. We might not be able to see the end, but we trust God that He will be standing there. 

Choose to be a warrior for Christ, and let Him lead. That is what will make the difference. 

Let’s pray. 

Thank you, Lord, for winning the war already. We worship you alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.
