Jesus Has Overcome the World

Scripture John 16:33 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.”

Observation: How easy is it to forget that Jesus has overcome the world with all the evil that is happening all around us. If we stayed focused on God’s word it tells us this is all temporary and Satan’s hold on this world is going to come to an end. If we live for eternal life now, that will bring us joy and the ability to fulfill the purpose God has given us here. Doing God’s will now in the midst of tribulation will bring us joy.

Application: Continue to persevere each day following the Holy Sprit’s lead. Stay focused on what God has called me to do and set my mind on things above and not on this earth. Speak to others to encourage them to stay on the path that God has called them to and be the best example I can be.

Prayer My Lord, I thank you for all you’ve done for me and the realization of coming home to You when You are ready. Help me continue to do your will in this life and that I will honor You each day that I’m here.
