"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 ~
Ever feel like the troubles of the world are piling up on you? Like you’re about to suffocate underneath the pressures of so many problems?
What do we do when we feel like everything from everybody and everywhere continues to press us down? Who do we call? Who do we turn to?
We call on Jesus. We turn to Him and believe in His words. And, come what may, we cling to our faith in Him.
In John 16:33, Jesus says in Him we can have peace. That’s good news—especially when struggling day after day with one circumstance after the other.
If we are to survive the stresses of being bogged down with burdens, then we need a savior. We need Jesus!
Life is hard. And, at times, it gets even harder. Jesus is the one-and-only Savior, and He can lift us up from under any circumstances. He has the power to deliver us from the wiles of this world.
Jesus warned us that in this world we'd have problems, "But be of good cheer." He said He’s overcome the world. And if we’re connected as closely to Jesus as we’d like to believe, then we, too, can and will overcome.
Whenever we discover that we’re drowning in a sea of troubles, Jesus can fix it. To reiterate the melodious words of the late gospel singer Frank Williams, "If Jesus can’t fix it, nobody can."
No matter what the case may be, Jesus can deliver us from under any circumstance.
Peace I leave with you . . .
