REASON

Jesus, our Master, was a realist.  He never called those who followed Him to live in denial of trouble and He did not shield them from adversity.  He allowed the tempest to assail them and called them to have faith in the midst of the worst storms. ““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.” John 16:33 All trials are passing in nature, for a season and for a reason.  Do not make the mistake of thinking your circumstances will never change or that they will destroy you.  “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 Because God is with you, you do not have to give in to, sink beneath or become defeated by troubles. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isa 41:10 You can face them, confront them, challenge them, deal with them and in the end overcome them. You can have the victory because your all-sufficient God is with you. “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20 Today, allow that truth to bring joy and consolation to your heart.  Be Blessed
