I don't know if you've heard about all the turmoil we've had here in Minneapolis this week, but even if you haven't, you better be aware of the turmoil in the world. We are all surrounded by tribulations and sufferings, whether they are new things from the affects of the virus or if they are things we have been dealing with for many years. We live in a messed up world, in messed up families, messed up churches, messed up countries, messed up cities--you get the point.
I was feeling a little discouraged tonight and then happened upon these amazingly comforting words from Jesus:
"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
It is easy to get caught up in the pain and sadness and evil and forget that Christ is on His thrown, and He is in control. We can rest in Him.
