Truth by Zach Chudy

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
This past semester I spent in chiropractic college was the hardest schooling I have ever done. 7am to 5pm followed by studying. It was really difficult but I was making it through. The last month and a half though I woke every morning and heard the same lies over and over again. That I was not good enough to make it through, I didn’t have the energy, I wasn’t as smart as the other students, I am not friendly enough to be succeed, I’m too shy, I just get walked all over, why even go to school you are a failure.
So I got up each morning heard these lies and many others and they were very convincing, but I got down on my knees and said “Lord I don’t think I can even deny that what is being said is true, but I believe what you say about me is true in spite of how things look, feel, or seem, I choose you and I choose life today. The lies kept coming and every time I went to Lord and declared what he said about I believed even though it didn’t seem to fit at all.
Ultimately, greater is He who is in me then he who is in the world, and in Christ I overcame the lies. It was anything super exciting or some big change but it was enough for each day knowing who I am in my savior and overcoming. And at the end of the semester I ended up getting the first 4.0 ever in my life. So yeah I can say that what the enemy says to me is definitely a lie and Christ over came it just as his word says.
