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.
Scripture
John
16:33
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
Proof
that having riches and proof that even being one of the richest men
on earth doesn't bring peace should be obvious to all of us with the
apparent suicide death this week of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
No
Jesus, no peace. Know Jesus, know peace!
I
don't know if you have memorized very many verses, but John 16:33 is
one verse that you definitely need to memorize.
Trouble,
hardship, and difficulties are coming your way. They are heading my
way too! Jesus tells us right up front that this is part of life.
His
promise to me and His promise to you is that we can have peace right
in the middle of the storm if we are trusting in Him.
Do
you know Him? Trust Him!
John
14:27
“I
am leaving you with a gift—peace of
mind and heart. And the peace I
give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or
afraid.
Philippians
4:6-8
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done.
7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
8 And now,
dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what
is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and
admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of
praise.
Application
I
will trust in the Lord when the world around me seems out of control.
Proverbs
3:5-6
5 Trust in
the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to always remember that my life is in Your hands.
Help me to pray about everything and not worry about anything. I want
Your peace which exceeds anything that I can understand. And I know
that it comes from trusting in You.
I
pray for those who are sick. Help them to trust You. Help them to
rely on all of Your promises that You have given us in Your Word.
Give them peace.
Ephesians
1:2
May
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
