Jesus told His disciples that in Him they would have peace, but in this world
they would have trouble. "But", He says " Take heart", cheer up, do not be
afraid, "I have overcome the world" Jn 16:33. He is telling them that because He
has done it, they can do it too! There is a WAY through it all, there is an end
to it. We cannot overcome by running away. There comes a time when we have to
face all that is against us, and STAND in faith, trusting that He who has
overcome will give us the strength to overcome too! Like father, like son! We
have the same family trait as Jesus, if we believe in Him and have His Spirit
within us. He leads us in triumph, and we are more than conquerers. We are able
to do all that He requires of us through faith in Him. Feed your soul on His
word. It brings a boldness and tenacity that can come no other way. Multitudes
have gone before, experiencing all that you go through, and have prevailed
because of their undying love for Jesus.
'Many are the afflictions of the
righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all' Psalm 34:19.
