Day 15 - February 21st 2022

Read John 16:33

“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.”

Are you a planner or do you go with the flow? Either way, you’re walking through your day with expectations for how the day will turn out. You may have planned out every hour. You might only know what you’re eating for lunch. But again and again, things happen that we don’t expect. The words “In this world you will have trouble” are obviously true. No one is immune to challenges, suffering, or difficulties. The disciples to whom Jesus said this lived during the Roman Empire—not exactly a peaceful time. Yet, in the middle of a season of turmoil, Jesus offered true peace. In spending time with him, God reveals to us that He is peace. He has already overcome the obstacles that keep us from Him, and He still walks beside us through all the unplanned ups and downs of life.

Invite Jesus into your plans today. Ask Him to bring peace to existing situations as well as the unseen bumps in the road ahead.
