“He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” The Enemy of the faithful believer sometimes makes his appearance in the form of a specific treacherous and deceitful human being. This individual may be used by Satan to bring about destruction of life because he lives in the world, trusts in the world, and listens to the ways of the world.
Pride always goes before a fall. The end of worldly people whom the Evil One uses will be destruction and judgment. So Jesus says, “Don’t worry about it. I am living in you, my faithful people, and I am greater than those trusting in worldly wealth and worldly ways.” Instead of trusting in the Lord worldly people seek refuge in their own destruction; amazing but true.
But I, on the other hand, trust in the never-ending faithful love of Christ in me, and so I flourish like a green olive tree in His Presence. I thank God regularly and I wait for His Name, for He is good and His mercy endures. I live by what I believe, not by what I see; my Lord always shows up and overcomes.
