In our world today, it seems as though we are confronted with bad and negative news on a regular basis. And all of that can really knock us down emotionally, causing us to be fearful, sad, and worried; and today, I am not going to tell you that we should just be 100% unshaken when tragedy strikes, but what I want to encourage with today is the fact that our Father will work it all out and make into something good.
Now I know, this is a hard concept to grasp because, when we hear it, our minds automatically jump to the conclusion that this was all God's doing, and we begin to get angry with Him, asking why He'd do such a thing and why He would cause so much pain to this world, and to His children, that He created. But see, in the verse John 16:33, it says that “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” See here that God tells us that I'm this world, we will have trouble, we will have forces that will come against us that try to deter us from our faith and belief that God is taking care of us, and sometimes it seems like those forces are doing a pretty good job, but God encourages us to take heart! Because He has overcome death itself and He has put that power within each and every one of His children! So no matter what may happen in this world, we can rest in the fact, and in the peace, that God is going to bring us back out of this, and yes, we may be heartbroken and shaken for a bit, but He is going to cause something good to come out of it, I can guarantee you that.
So just stay in the belief today, no matter what it is that has knocked you down, and know that God's children overcome, and that in the end, even though you may not be able to see it now, He is going to bring all of this together for the good of His children. For you.
Amen:) :) :)
