In the Name of Peace

^{John 16}

³¹ Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? ³² Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will^[d] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

 Today, this verse especially speaks to me very much. I am at a transition season, whereby I am learning to adapt to my new life....going into the working world, taking a new outlook on things, trying out something new, stepping into the unknown not knowing what is in store for me.....and a lot more other decisions for the future.

At times thinking about all these things can be quite messy and very doubtful. Like the disciples of Jesus who are at a point of worry very much about their future. Because they do not know how their world would be like in time to come without Jesus, when Jesus gone back to His Father. But Jesus clearly said this, everything else would be scattered, there will be trials there will be tribulations...Now that you believe that I am Christ, you will have peace in Me no matter how bad situation may be.

The revelation of your identity in Christ should give you peace. The revelation of God's position in your life should give you the courage to keep on keeping on in the face of circumstances. Even though I am stepping intothe working world, and honestly I always feel that I am not very street smart, and there will be a lot of challenges I face....But I am assured that Jesus will bring me through. I have a great destiny in God. Peace of God shall be upon me, and together with Jesus I can also overcome the world.=)

It is a short verse that I meditate on today. Hope it blesses you!
