—John 16:25-33
by: Angie Osborn.
Jesus did not promise a trouble free life if we follow him. In fact, he very clearly told the disciples that in following him, they would face trouble and persecution. We, too, will face trials in this life. We may even face persecution for our beliefs. But take hope; in the midst of those troubles, we have peace. No matter what the world may throw at us, God is in control, and he is able to deliver peace. He is able to calm the storm and help us to see the sun behind the clouds.
