Scripture

John 16

31 Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? 32 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Observation

In this world you will have many trials and sorrows, but take heart Jesus says, because He has overcome the world.
Trouble free living is not realistic. Sometimes we think that if we are walking close to God then we will be problem free and the truth is many times just the opposite. The disciples were close to Jesus, the prophets also walked with God and both groups lived with trials and trouble.

Application

I will take heart today and walk in victory!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for overcoming this world. We know that even though we may experience trials and trouble here on earth we will ultimately be victorious. Thank You for the peace that I have in You. Give me wisdom for this day. Open my eyes and show me where to walk.
