“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? - 1 John 5:4–5 (ESV)
The pressures and circumstances of the world in which we live are challenging us in ways many have never experienced before. At every turn in the road one can find something that will rob him of their victory and peace of mind – if they permit it. Our enemy Satan is a long way from having retired from the business of misleading and ruining God’s children if he can. Faith can change any situation and give us the strength to overcome the fears, worries, and panic that might fill our hearts and minds. No matter how dark it is, no matter what the trouble may be, taking a quick moment to turn to God in a moment of real, actual faith in Him, will alter our situation in a moment. We are promised in our verse today that we who by faith believe that Jesus is the Son of God will overcome the world. God is still on His throne, and He can turn defeat into victory in a second of time, if we really trust Him. A trustworthy statement by Marshal Foch* is, “When one has faith, one does not retire; one stops the enemy where he finds him”
