This incident shows the certain victory of God's work over all opposition. When a divine principle enters the heart, even if the devil creates counterfeits and opponents, God will overcome them. If God's grace fills a person, the world's attempts to oppose it will be swallowed by His power.

The cross's pull will win the person's heart. Someone who once lived only for earthly things will now look to heaven. Grace changes everything: the worldly person seeks the eternal. This truth is also seen in a believer's life. How many foes our faith battles!

Our old sins, thrown down by the devil, become like serpents. Yet, the cross of Jesus destroys them. Faith in Christ swiftly deals with sin.

The devil also attacks through trials, temptations, and unbelief. But faith in Jesus overcomes them all. A true love for Jesus overcomes difficulties, makes sacrifices joyful, and turns suffering into honor. If faith consumes your heart, many who claim religion may lack it; for their faith cannot pass this test.

Examine yourself. Aaron's rod showed its divine power. Is your faith doing the same? If Christ is anything, He must be everything. Don't rest until love and faith in Jesus take over your soul.
