Peace! Peace!

.... Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 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 16:32b‭-‬33 KJV

Truth Facts:
1. Nowhere else in the Bible is the truth about our walk with and call in God better explained than here. Jesus himself was left alone by men, let down by his disciples and abandoned at the critical moment of destiny, when he faced the cross. The truth is the same even today- men will not follow you to death, no matter how hard they promise. It is a personal walk, and the only person whose company makes the journey worthwhile is God.

2. It really does not matter what promises have been made to you by man. Marriages fail, agreements are broken without remorse and the world generally makes provision for disappointments. It then means that it is the way of the world to disappoint while it is the way of God to stand by you all the way. The choice of the company you want is yours to make.

3. Of course, your decision is even made more important by the assurance that life will not be smooth. Man likes comfort and convenience, but God has consistently shown that he will not bring us to the place of destiny through the easiest way. He wants us to learn lessons, to build character, to learn dependence and absolute trust in Him, not in our man-made contraptions.

4. Why should we be confident about facing the world? - because God has overcome. His death and life sealed our redemption, and opened the door for us to experience the amazing life God has for us. It may not always be rosy, but God's presence will surely smoothen the path for our feet. His eternal purpose is impact here and life hereafter, and not just the amassing of possessions. His time of favour is here.
