It is written.

 Yes. "It is written..."

This is a powerful phrase, deeply rooted in the Christian faith. It signifies more than just something being written down; it declares final authority, divine truth, and an unshakable foundation.

When you say "it is written" about a verse like Philippians 4:13, you are:

1. Acknowledging Divine Authority: You are stating that this is not merely a motivational quote or human opinion. It is the recorded Word of God, carrying His authority and truth.

2. Standing on a Promise: You are taking a promise given by God and holding onto it as a certainty. You are activating your faith by declaring that you believe what God has said is true and reliable.

3. Following the Example of Jesus: Jesus Himself used this phrase when He was tempted by Satan in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Each time He was tempted, He responded with "It is written..." followed by Scripture. He used the Word of God as His ultimate defense and weapon.

By saying "it is written," you are doing the same thing. You are:

· Countering doubt with God's truth.

· Countering fear with God's promise.

· Countering weakness with God's strength.

It is a declaration that your reality is defined by what God has said, not just by what you see or feel in the moment. You are rooting your identity, your hope, and your capabilities in the eternal, unchanging truth of Scripture.

Amen. It is written.
