John 16:33
33 “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.”
I really wish I could somehow make you read this part in that deep voice over they use for action film trailers. If you know what I mean read the next sentences just like that! “In a world where everything is changing at the speed of light and no hope can be found, one man came to battle for the masses. One man came to instill peace where no peace can ever be found!” Yep, that is exactly how John 16:33 plays out in my head. . . LOL!
I wish when we became Christians all the troubles of the world just vanished, but they don’t. Sometimes we get to pick which troubles we will be a part of and which ones we will walk away from but that doesn’t always happen either. As the old saying goes, trouble has a way of finding us. Somedays I have the starring roll!
Although I cannot fast-forward through the troubles, I do know a way through it that always works. I rely on the man that already saw the movie. No matter what special effect Satan spins around you, it is just an illusion. Jesus is directing the film. I am not saying you won’t feel the hurt, pain, confusion or whatever other emotions pop up. What I am saying is, despite of these emotions, you will find peace too. You will know that you can get through this holding the hand of the one who wrote THE END. So what do you say let’s “Roll credits!”
Lord thank You for being the writer, director, and producer of my movie. I know there are some scary parts, but I will get through it holding Your hand. ~amen
