Overcomer
Straight to the Point
Do you agree that personal problems can seem overwhelming at times?
What about national and international problems? Do they cause you to shake your head and wonder what the world’s coming to?
What about health issues? Is your health or someone else’s health a concern?
Then there are financial issues, parenting, marital, and work challenges that can be ongoing struggles.
Jesus interrupts our conflicted worries and gets straight to an important point that each of us must remember. “In the world, you have tribulation, (pressure, affliction, oppression, and distress), but take courage, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Is that a good word for you to hear today? Jesus is bigger than the world and its problems. We can look to Him, to His Word, and empowerment for whatever we face.
Jesus has overcome the world. He is present to help you. Look up to the Overcomer.
Lord Jesus Christ, You are the OVERCOMER. I praise You for the peace, direction and empowerment You give me as I trust in You.

OVERCOMER
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Our personal problems can seem overwhelming at times. National and international problems may cause us to shake our heads and wonder “what the world is coming to.” But Jesus interrupts our conflicted worries and gets straight to the point. In the world, we’re going to have tribulation, which means “pressure, affliction, oppression, and distress.” Then, He says the most amazing thing. He’s bigger than the world. He’s OVERCOME it. And that is why He invites us to take His hand and take His peace.
Lord Jesus Christ, You are the OVERCOMER. I praise You for the peace You give me when I look heavenward and trust You.
