In today’s world, we can feel as if everything is shifting beneath our feet. Headlines are filled with news that fuels restlessness and unease. Social media presents a constant stream of man-centred opinions and worldly pressures to cave in and conform. How can you remain firmly grounded and hopeful when everything around you seems uncertain?
Jesus’ disciples found themselves in a similar situation as they followed Him through the final days of His earthly ministry. In John 16-21, they wrestled with fear, confusion and uncertainty.
But Jesus provided words of encouragement. His promises of the coming of the Holy Spirit, peace beyond understanding and the certainty of his victory over death gave the disciples deep comfort.
Remember that this consolation and assurance is for you too. Believe in the truth of God’s Word. It will give you guidance in uncertainty and true peace when you feel overwhelmed.
