Finally Believed

Scripture: 31 Jesus replied, “Now you finally believe in me. 32 And the time has come when you will all be scattered, and each one of you will go your own way leaving me alone! Yet I am never alone, for the Father is always with me. 33 And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world! (John 16:31-33 The Passion) And they finally believed! I wonder how many miracles, healings, and words the disciples had seen and experienced? Jesus was giving them some final words and telling them some of what to expect after He was gone. But there would be a Helper that would come to give them further and more complete instructions. They would be scattered and the world would still not believe, but they must be courageous. Father, the world still does not believe, but I believe. Help me to be courageous and to live my life for You. AMEN You, Lord, are my radiant hope and I trust You with all my heart. Your wrap-around presence strengthens me. Your love and steadfast kindness overshadows me as I trust and wait upon You! Psalm 33
