“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33(NKJV)
True Peace isn’t absence of trouble.
True peace is being inwardly untroubled even in the midst of death threatening trouble.This isn’t peace we can work up ourselves in self encouragement or self motivation endeavors.This is peace solidly established on what God has already accomplished. He has overcome the world (the ungodly evil system). He has deprived the world of power to harm us.No matter what trouble we’re facing or going through we can let the prevailing peace of God steady us as we dwell on and declare the comforting assurance that “Jesus has overcome the world for me”
