John 1:4-5
“What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by. The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out.”
“The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”
This promised victory should be seared into the brain of all believers. Its certainty should fill each day. The light will triumph though evil wins along the way. Therefore, do not fear. How often our emotional reaction to evil sets us up for failure, allowing Satan to slip in and destroy our resolve. We must be saturated with certainty of victory. God trains this into us through everyday life. Our faith muscles grow strong, and we are ready to face the big assault without fear. We win, live or die.
Lord, thank you for this assurance. I long to see it happen now on earth. Fill me with the assurance of victory. Make me a valiant soldier in your service. By your power I will win, live or die.
