“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.
It may appear like the enemy has the upper hand in your life. It will look like you’re too far gone or waited too late. No open doors or signs that it’s going to change will not be in sight. It doesn’t look like you’re going to win.
Many have looked like they weren’t going to win, but with God, they did.
Sometimes, that’s the road to winning. Everything may look like you’re not going to win, but you are and will. Jesus said you would have tribulation. He didn’t deny it or sugarcoat it. Yet, that’s not the end of that verse, nor is it how it will end for you. Jesus said He has already overcome it for you.
So through the eyes of Jesus, with His mighty perspective, see your victory in everything, and decide to be of good cheer. Decide there will be joy in your house, and there will be joy in your life. All it means is that your victory will be that much sweeter when you win. The greater the trial, the greater your blessing!
Prayer: Father, thank you that although it doesn’t look like I will win, I am, and I will. Sometimes, it’s a part of winning. Have your way in me. Help me to stay strong. Help me to count it all joy and be of good cheer. Jesus has overcome for me! That’s my decision of faith today. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
