    For thought and meditation

    "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

    —John 16:33

    Studies have found that 85 percent of the things we worry about never happen. This means that of all the things you’re worrying about right now, 85 percent of it won’t happen. But what about the other 15 percent? Well, the Lord will be with you in your time of difficulty.

    God has not promised that we’ll live in a pain-free world. Jesus said, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). We need to face facts. Loved ones are going to die, and hardship will come into our lives.

    But here is the good news: we live in the land of the dying, but we are headed to the land of the living. Yes, death will come, but we have this promise from Jesus: “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave” (Revelation 1:17–18). I’m so glad that He holds the keys. If I had the keys, they would’ve been lost for years now.

    Someone asked me not long ago what the most spiritual moment of my life was. In other words, when was the time in my life when I felt God’s presence more than any other? I had to think about it. And then I realized the most spiritual moment of my life, the moment when I felt the presence of God more than any other, was when I heard the news that my son Christopher had died, and God was there.

    We can rejoice in the fact that God is in control. He will be with us, giving us what we need, when we need it.
    when the dust settles and the smoke clears all that matters is I hear the words " well done my good and faithfully servant "

    I have been asked many times "where was God"? People view God as He is not and miss what He truly is. God is sovereign over all things, Thanks so much for a great lesson.

    Laying our burden down is hard for us . We have the overwhelming urge to take it on ourselves . GOD wants to help you as any good father would , he expects you to ask for his help and let him carry your load . We dishonor him and show a lack of faith if we try to take everything on ourselves when he is there to do that very thing .
    No turning back , No turning back !
