Overcoming the World
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Millions of dollars are spent each year in search of peace--personal, familial, corporate, national and international. Christians are not exempt from the turmoil of this sinful world we live in. But the promise that Jesus made in this verse is that He has overcome the world! So why do we worry? Because we do not believe. We let Satan use various means to sow seeds of doubt in our minds about God’s love and care for us. Let’s be of good cheer, fully believing that our heavenly Father has power over all the universe, and that He exercises it on our behalf and for our good.
--Pam Hagey
Looking off unto Jesus my spirit is blest;
In the world I have turmoil, in Him I have rest.
--Anna B. Warner
