“‘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.’”
When you made your plans today, did you remember to schedule trouble? Did you plan for the letter from your child’s school? Did you set the reminder on your phone about the flat tire on your way home? Did you remember to pencil in the call from your health insurance provider about your procedure that’s not covered? Of course you didn’t. No one plans for trouble. You may plan for what ifs and just incases, but trouble normally catches us off guard.
When you’re faced with trouble, Jesus wants you to find your peace in Him. You may have been caught off guard by your appointment with trouble, but Christ wasn’t. He warned you that you would have trouble in this world, but He doesn’t want you to lose your mind. He wants you to take heart and remember who He is to you. He’s your strength. He’s your redeemer. He’s refuge. Whatever trouble you face this year, know that Jesus has already overcome it. I’m not saying it’ll be easy, but it’s easier knowing His grace is sufficient and you have His peace.
