Rest In Jesus

John 16:33
In the world you will have tribulations, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


When we dont' know this is all going to work out, we have to hold tightly to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and rest in Him.  That's the message we often find in the New Testament.

In John 16:33 Jesus said to His disciples, "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."  Jesus had been talking about His future death, but then He said, "Don't get caught up in that.  Make sure in the midst of these tumultuous times your trust is in Me."

When we go through a tough time, if we've spent any time at all in the Word of God, that tough time is like a magnet that draws us to the Lord Jesus.  Nothing will happen in the future that will catch Jesus Christ by surprise.  And there's nothing that will happen that He can't help His children work through.

So rather than spending our time trying to figure out the nuances of what will happen, we should spend at least as much getting to know Him better.

    photo at debragrayelliott.blogspot.com HATE LATE? This slogan of an ad must be familiar to you. You might not be patient to wait for something to fill in your stomach. How about in the concept of PRAYING? Do you pray and always wanting to be answered immediately? or you still pray even if there's no answer yet? They say when you pray, God will only respond in 3 ways: YES, NO, and WAIT. HATE LATE when it comes to prayer? God has never been late in answering our prayers. He wants us to WAIT for He will answer in His own terms, in His beautiful and perfect time. What are you thankful for? "I thank God for His perfect delivery in my prayer!" Let me share you my story... C ouple of weeks ago, I was sending resume to different media companies. I am still employed up to this time, but I still dream that one day, I could work in a media company. As you know, I am an English teacher for Korean students.
