To work on hiding God's word in our hearts,
this year I'm going to be posting a memory verse for each week
along with a printable to print out and hang up.
along with a printable to print out and hang up.
Here's the verse for week 6:
The Lord clearly tells us that we WILL have trouble in this life.
He doesn't say we might.
He clearly says WILL.
I love this verse because directly after reminding us that we will have trouble,
He reminds us that we will also have peace.
The word overcome is reminding us....it's done.
He doesn't say He will do it. He says, He already has.
He has already done it so we don't have to worry.
Not only did he conquer the fallen world through His death and resurrection,
but He continues to provide that victory,
no matter what trouble we face.
To me this verse is the perfect reminder that my security
and peace rest NOT in the circumstances I face but in a confidence
that God (who guides ALL circumstances) knows exactly what He is doing.
What peace comes from knowing that!
He doesn't say we might.
He clearly says WILL.
