In life, it often feels like we're swimming upstream. We face challenges, setbacks, and opposition that can make us wonder if the odds are stacked against us. But for those of us who follow Christ, there's a profound truth that offers immense comfort and strength: there is more for you than against you.
Understanding the Spiritual Battle
The Bible is clear that we live in a world where spiritual forces are at play. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."1 This isn't always easy to grasp in our daily lives, but it means that some of the opposition we encounter isn't just random bad luck; it can be a spiritual attack.
However, recognizing this truth shouldn't lead to fear, but to faith. Because while there are forces against us, the forces for us are infinitely more powerful.
God is For You
The cornerstone of this truth is God's unwavering support. Romans 8:31 asks a powerful question: "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" This isn't a rhetorical question; it's a declaration of victory. If the Creator of the universe, the Alpha and Omega, is on your side, what earthly or spiritual opposition can truly prevail?
Embracing the truth that there is more for you than against you requires a shift in perspective. It means:
Flipping the Narrative: Instead of focusing on what's going wrong, intentionally look for God's hand at work.
Declaring God's Truth: Speak His promises over your life and situations.
Standing Firm in Faith: Even when circumstances seem overwhelming, hold onto the conviction that God is faithful and powerful.
Remembering Past Victories: Recall times God has come through for you in the past; these are testimonies to His faithfulness.
When trials come, and they will, remember 1 John 4:4: "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
You are not fighting a losing battle. With God on your side, you are destined for victory. There truly is more for you than against you.
