“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 NIV
***
I am trying to remember that things have certainly been crazier in human history
and they may get crazier here and now,
and [here I am trying to be optimistic] it’s even a good thing,
to be going through all of this,
if only to be reminded that history hasn’t stopped –
human existence is as fundamentally unmanageable now as it ever was.
George Saunders
***
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 NIV
***
Accustom yourself to unreasonableness and injustice.
Abide in peace in the presence of God
Who sees all these evils more clearly than you do,
and Who permits them.
Be content with doing with calmness the little which depends upon yourself,
and let all else be to you as if it were naught.
Francois Fenelon
***
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 NIV
***
Let the presence of God INVADE you today. It’s all about Him …
don’t get distracted by the stupid things of the enemy.
Remember, God wins! 🙂
