“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.” John 16:33 NIV
The moments I hate most in life are those that hover in limbo. Not knowing what to do, not knowing what will happened, not knowing how something will turn out, can just about drive me crazy. This promise is given to remind us, that even though we will have trouble in this world, we can rest secure in the knowledge that the events of history and our lives are in the palm of God’s hand. He has told us what to expect at the end of time. He wants us to trust him and have peace of mind amid the storms. God will bring all he has predicted to pass, although the world looks like it is out of control. Nothing will prevent his words from being fulfilled. His mighty arms surround his precious children, and we can rest secure in his providence.
