John 16:33 NIV I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Jesus reminded us that in this world we would have trouble and when we go through difficulties and trials, it’s important to have people who will stand in faith with us believing for God to keep His word to us.
The Lord knows what we need and all it takes is a word spoken by Him through someone, when it’s spoken in faith. I had that happen the other night. I received a word of encouragement from a friend and it brought great peace and assurance to my heart when a family member was suffering. I just knew that God was in control and all would be well.😊
When we have the Maker of all things on our side then we’re on the victory side. We know He’s fighting our battles so we can sleep at night. It’s good to declare the end result by faith before you can see it in the natural, because it pleases God when we believe what He says and trust Him to do it.
It’s so good to know Jesus didn’t stay a helpless baby in a manger. The reason for His coming to earth was to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), to deliver us out of sin’s hold, and whatever trap the enemy set for us, to heal and restore us, and He passed His victory over to us to claim as part of our covenant with God.
Praise God Jesus is still our Deliverer and Healer, God with us. He still upholds us, and strengthens us when we’re weak so let’s stir up our faith in a mighty God who holds us safely in His hands, and all who are dear to us. Amen.
