Small

I think sometimes we forget who and whose we are.  Sometimes we listen to the wrong voices.  Sometimes anxiety, fear or worry overtakes us.  Sometimes we think we're too small, too insignificant, too weak, too vulnerable to make a difference or do the things we need to do.  Do you know what?  I am weak.  I am small (literally, ha!).  I am insufficient and unable.  BUT.  The One that is in you is greater than the noise and voices of the world.  Isn't that good news?!

We don't need to listen to the lies of this world, the false prophets, the spirits who do not speak truth.  "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" (1 John 4:4).  I love this image for reminding us that what we see on the outside doesn't always reflect the power, security, acceptance and assurance we have from the Spirit on the inside.  When the Son is shining on (and in) you, you create a bigger impact than you realise, and it's not because you have to be super and have it all together.  It's because HE, Jesus, is the One in you releasing His power and His strength.  "‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty." (Zechariah 4:6).  Don't worry about your smallness, let Him level any mountains in your life today, you just go stand in the presence of the Son.
