Higher Authority

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them

- 1 John 4:4-5, NKJV

It’s rather ironic that the same society that so vehemently protests celebrating a risen savior, so willingly enables (without serious objection) itself to honor/rejoice in the profane, the unrighteous, and morbid. While it’s a tough pill to swallow knowing that your outward expression of faith is suppressed, know that you serve a higher authority [You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them (1 John 4:4-5, NKJV)] and are called to persevere through the trials until there is triumph - “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, NKJV). Today amongst all the clamor that persists in the midst of your walk, raise your voice to the Lord and exalt Him for His glory…giving Him all the praise and honor - Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Psalms 103:1-5, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
