The cutting edge of trouble slices into each person’s daily life. Jesus said, “In this world you will face trouble.” Yet he offered this assurance: “Take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus believed in God’s power and presence even as he confronted life’s greatest evil.
When we’re forced to face our troubles, we can do so by believing God’s presence and power reside in us not just for coping with what life has hurled our way, but to give us wisdom for how to overcome any issue. God provides faith for moving against insurmountable odds.
God’s power and presence are available to those who trust him to help with trouble regardless of its dominance.
God’s saving grace stands ready to snatch anyone back from the edge of despair, as mustard-seed faith reaches out to God’s love and mercy. God responds to your heart’s desperation as it opens wide to receive strength and healing.
Fight
the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith. Then there will be laid up for
you a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award
you on that day.
