These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
God the Father has promised us the victory in Christ. This doesn’t mean that we won’t face challenges in this lifetime, but what it does mean is that if we endure hardness as good soldiers whatever He brings us to, He will bring us through. He encourages us to be at peace knowing that for every situation we face in life He has already made a way of escape. Nothing surprises Him. Before the foundation of the earth He knew you. He formed you in your mother’s womb and knows the exact number of hairs on your head. He promised to never leave or forsake you. Even in knowing these things it is still not always easy to face the challenges the world brings, but understand that it is okay to feel afraid, but don’t be afraid. Fear is a natural emotion, but how you respond to it will determine the level of victory you experience. No matter what challenges lie before you face them boldly knowing that His grace is sufficient and His strength is made perfect in your weakness. As promised, He has overcome the world and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
