“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, New Living Translation).

Take heart. Don’t lose courage.

Whatever you’re facing right at this moment that seems impossible, God has already overcome.

I told you before that as believers we fight not for victory, but from it. That victory is already a done deal.

So as you lay your weary head on the pillow tonight, take heart. God has overcome the world. God has already overcome every obstacle and hardship and trial that you will ever face.

Sleep in the knowledge of that and may abiding peace be yours.
