In This World You Will Have Trouble – I have told you these things, and rest assured in Me. You will have trouble in this world. But don’t worry! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (NIV)

In John 16, Jesus explains to his disciples that he must leave soon, but when he does, the “advocate” (I love that word) will come and reveal himself to them. He went on to say that they would face trials and tribulations, be persecuted and even killed all in the name of God.

In This World You Will Have Trouble

This is an interesting situation. The one who was “supposed” to bring physical peace and order to the world did none of this. Instead, Jesus explained in the Bible that we will face difficulties and trials from the beginning. We cannot be free from the things that grow wild in this sin-tainted world.

Take Heart: John 16:33

The point is that life is not, and never has been, without trouble and conflict. However, we face trouble and conflict as the enemy. We are easily distracted by the differences we find in each other and focus our energies on proving people wrong, opposing their lifestyles and choices, and focusing our world on conflict and hatred. (Anyone who commits a crime should be held accountable for their actions, I’m not saying we turn a blind eye to those who do evil).

Everything we encounter has spiritual and supernatural implications. Evil exists in people because evil exists. Love exists in people because love is all around us. He has already made way for this love to penetrate into the hidden and dark places of sin and corruption. He defeated the powers of this world, and the supernatural and spiritual forces behind the scenes reduced the dominion and power through the cross. They still exist and inject the world with drugs, but because God’s love prevails, we can stand against this darkness with grace and hope in our hands and hearts.

When you see evil around you, hold your heart, remove yourself from anxiety and despair, fear and hate, and choose love. Put your hope in Jesus and believe that even though there is evil in the circumstances, we can fight this evil not by fighting it, but by standing by each other in love.

Take hold of your heart, free yourself from anxiety and despair, fear and hatred, and choose love. Click Tweet

Trouble In This World, But Peace In Christ

We are in trouble. Evil is at work. Dark access. But Jesus overcomes through love and empowers you to do the same. It encourages, comforts, and exhorts you to live worthy of the God who has called you to His kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)

“I have told you these things so that I may have peace. You will have trouble in this world. But don’t worry! I have conquered the world.’ John 16:33

In this passage, Jesus gives final instructions to those who have followed him for three years, preparing them for the challenges they will face when he is gone. They would face many difficult times. But Jesus has overcome the world, and as long as they abide in Him, His peace will fill them. They know his peace despite their outward appearance.

The same is true for us today. There is no promise that life will be easy for us as believers. The reality is that when we faithfully follow Jesus’ lead, our external circumstances may become more difficult. But we can find peace in Christ. It is a peace that the world cannot give or experience. So keep calm. Continue to follow Him faithfully despite the challenges you face.

IMAGE- This is a photo I took of the Arizona sunset. The Bible verse I combined with it is John 16:33: “In this world you will have tribulation, but do not be discouraged, I have overcome the world.” You can choose from my inspirational art PRINTS. This sacred image would make a wonderful addition to your home or as a gift for a loved one in need. A stunning pink and orange sunset lit up the clouds. Most of our trip to Arizona is completely cloudless, so sunsets are very uneventful. I was excited to see these clouds form in the afternoon and hoped for beautiful colors. How nice! This scripture is so comforting! The Lord knew that during our time here we would face some disappointments, frustrations and troubles. He just doesn’t want us to settle down
