Trouble comes to everyone at one time or another. It’s part of life. It is not fair, nor does it come when it is convenient. But one thing is certain: The greater one within us is with us in times of trouble. He will give us the strength to resist the enemy and stand strong in the midst of trouble. Proverbs 10:25 (ERV) says: “The wicked are destroyed when trouble comes, but good people stand strong forever”. The CSB says it this way: “the righteous are secure forever”. When the enemy comes in like a flood, God Himself raises up a standard against him on our behalf (Isaiah 59:19)! If you are experiencing trouble right now, know that you are not alone. Declare that the greater one is with you and no weapon formed against you shall prosper! Remember: the righteous are secure forever! Selah.
In Him, we overcome!
The Lord Jesus shared that we would experience difficulties in this life, but He emphatically let us know that in Him we have perfect peace and confidence. John 16:33 (AMPL) says: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” We can take courage in Him because He overcame the world. He has deprived the enemy of the power to harm us and has conquered him. Simply put, In Him, we overcome!
