Your security is in the presence of the Lord. Your protection is in the presence of the Lord. Your immunity is in the presence of the Lord. This is why you must never let yourself be distracted from Him.
BIBLE STUDY |John 16:33 NIV | “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.”
In today’s Scripture, Jesus Christ tells us about two life positions: The first one is, “…in me.” The other one is, “In this world.” Each of these two positions presents a set of realities.
“…in Me” you experience peace.
“In this world” you experience trouble.
This understanding radically changed my life a while ago.
You see, there’s so much trouble and suffering in this world. I don’t even need to tell you that, because you see it daily for yourself everywhere. And there’s still a lot of trouble to come as far as this world is concerned.
But in Jesus Christ —that is, in the Living Word Of God—there is a safe haven. In other words, as long as your mind is tuned to what God Himself is speaking directly to you through the Holy Spirit, you will enjoy God’s peace.
As long as you do not permit yourself to focus on the troubles around you, as long as you constantly remind yourself that God loves you and is always with you, you will continue to enjoy the glory and Favour of the Lord.
PRAYER | Dear Holy Spirit, please help me to always remain in Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name! #AMEN!
