Shedding Light Moments

(John 16:25-33).
Over the years I have observed that most people tend to view life based on their expectations.
We tend to expect that life should always be happy and pain-free. But that is not what the Bible teaches. For the believer, this world is a place of spiritual development through both good times and bad. Jesus was realistic when He explained what to expect in life. He told His disciples, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”(v.33). In facing life’s blessings and bruises, we can have the inner peace that God is orchestrating events according to His sovereign plan.
Christ’s presence in our lives enables us to “take heart” even in the midst of pain. Reflect then on this SLM:-
“In the midst of troubles, peace can be found in Jesus.”
