Messy ChristmasVzorec

When life is difficult, the first thing we want is for it to get better. This is what makes the first part of this verse hard to read. Jesus doesn’t sugarcoat that there will be trouble in our lives. The good news though? Jesus has overcome it. Meaning, the difficulty we’re facing doesn’t necessarily go away, but Jesus is bigger and greater than it.

During this Christmas season, when there’s a lot to celebrate but also hard stuff to deal with, let this verse remind you of this: Challenging circumstances don’t mean God’s given up on you. Troubles don’t get the final word, God does.
