| He Overcomes
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33 NKJV There are few sadder sights on earth than the sight of a person who has lost all hope. In difficult times, hope can be elusive, but Christians need never lose it. After all, God is good; His love endures; He has promised His children the gift of eternal life. If you find yourself falling into the spiritual traps of worry and discouragement, consider the words of Jesus. It was Christ who promised, "I have overcome the world." This world is indeed a place of trials and tribulations, but as believers, we are secure. God has promised us peace, joy, and eternal life. And, of course, God always keeps His promises. When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God. Charles Allen Without the certainty of His resurrection, we would come to the end of this life without hope, with nothing to anticipate except despair and doubt. But because He lives, we rejoice, knowing soon we will meet our Savior face to face, and the troubles and trials of this world will be behind us. Bill Bright The Lord Himself has laid the foundation of His people's hopes. We must determine if our hopes are built on this foundation. C. H. Spurgeon Hope can give us life. It can provide energy that would otherwise do us in completely if we tried to operate in our own strength. Barbara Johnson Today's Prayer Dear Lord, let my hopes always reside in You. If I become discouraged, let me turn to You. If I grow tired, let me find strength in You. You are my Father, and I will place my faith, my trust, and my hopes in You. Amen from New Life Ministries by Steve Arterburn
