And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:32-33)
Jesus was about to go to His death . . .a lonely, excruciating, unusual and painful death. Yet He trusted that though He would be abandoned . . . isolated . . . alone . . . He could trust that the Father was with Him! He spoke from the future present . . .I have overcome the world!
Fast forward to 2020-2021 . . . . Here we are, many of us isolated, feeling abandoned by friends and family, yet we say we trust God through all things! This is indeed a test of faith! We say we trust Him when things are going well, oh but when tings go crazy . . . .
In sports and even in war, we prepare to our best ability to win. We exercise, we practice, we examine the enemy's schemes and we have a game plan that we believe will work. Well friends, we already have victory over this world because God has been to the end and back . . .He executed the game plan to perfection . . .and He won! We now fight from victory, not for victory!
So in this battle with Covid-19, be of good cheer. Be at peace. The battle is won. It is just a matter of time . . . .Victory comes in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years . . .and into eternity!
