Jesus didn’t promise an easy life.
He promised His presence.
He told us we’d face troubles.
But He also told us to be confident.
His victory gives us victory.
(John 16:33)
So, don’t let obstacles stop you…
Let them direct you.
Let them remind you…
That you’re not on your own.
You have help.
Not just from someone.
But, The One.
The One who spoke words and brought the world into existence.
That’s why we can be confident.
He doesn’t just know everything about you.
He knows everything about everything.
And everything to come.
We don’t have to wonder…
How.
Because we know…
Who.
“The Lord hears his people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.”
-Psalm 34:17, NLT
That’s a verse we can hold on to.
That’s a verse of comfort.
So, when you’re facing something difficult…
Something that’s hard to deal with…
Lean on Him.
He’ll give you the wisdom you need.
He’ll open the right doors.
He’ll nudge you.
Obstacles aren’t going to stop you.
They’re going to be stories of God working through you.
They’re going to leave you saying…
God is good.
