In living life we find ourselves at any given time in any one of these four situations-going into, right smack in the middle of, coming out of, or we may be in a season where it is smooth sailing. This is the circle of living life in this world.
John 16:33 In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
The encouraging part of that Scripture is where Jesus says, “For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.”
As Christians we have the Word to lean upon that is filled with promises that have been given to us. There is nothing more comforting and needful than the promises of God for the problems we face in life.
The Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God. God has already give us the seal of His “yes”. He is waiting on our “amen” (yes so be it).
Promises, promises in the Word and all of them are true. He will do exactly what He said He would do. He did not tell us troubles we would not face. But He did promise He would be by our side through them all. Hand in hand with Him through life’s journey always overcoming in the power of Jesus Name. For all the promises are His yes and our amen to the glory of God. Take the life you are living and give it to Him and He will make it beautiful. In time you will see his grace is sufficient for all those who will believe.
