No matter how much we dislike it, problems will find us. The bigger issue comes when we look ahead. Do we imagine frightening effects of the problems, letting fear and worry reign in our hearts? Or do we trust in God, who reigns over all circumstances and powers?
In John 14:1-3, Jesus said, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” We have many reasons to have peace in troubled times. We can trust that our God is faithful and good. And, we know that in the end, His children will spend eternity with Him.
