John 16:33
“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.”
As the children of God we are not promised peace in this old sinful world. As God's children we are under attack constantly by the powers that be to make sure we are not the witnesses we should be to the lost. We are tempted to fail our Lord in many different ways. And sometimes the battle becomes more than we think we can bare. But our Lord is with us. He is right there with us the whole time ready to bring us comfort and peace. Even in the heat of the battle our Lord offers us His peace.
Then why do we so many time refuse our Lord? Why do we stumble and fall? Why do we become so weak and battle weary? When all the time we just needed to trust Him. All the while all we had to do was to lay our burdens and problems in Him. Many times our pride over takes us and we think we can handle it all on our own. But nothing could be further from the truth. Without Him we are nothing.
Remember our Lord is not the one who left us. We have left Him. Even though He is right there with us the whole time. We refuse the peace and comfort He has promised.
O child of God stop being stubborn. Stop looking to self for the comfort and peace that only our Lord and Savior can and will provide. Rest in Him.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
